When I Was a Boy

When I was a boy of 18
Waiting in the table
Taking everything I called it mine
Owning every favor

Will you wait for me
When it’s all said and done?
Will you call my name
When I’m under the gun?

I was singing along
I was waiting my turn
Now I’m caught up in the brambles
Begging to unlearn

When I was a man of 21
Saying I was able
I’d go round and town to town
Singing you a fable

Now I’m a man of 23
Trying to fight the battles
Waiting for my chance to prove I changed
I realize I haven’t

Will you wait for me
When it’s all said and done?
Will you call my name
When I’m under the gun?

I was singing along
I was waiting my turn
Now I’m caught up in the brambles
Begging to unlearn

Will you wait for me
When it’s all said and done?
Will you call my name
When I’m under the gun?

I was singing along
I was waiting my turn
Now I’m caught up in the brambles
Begging to unlearn

Will you wait for me
When it’s all said and done?
Will you call my name
When I’m under the gun?

I was singing along
I was waiting my turn
Now I’m caught up in the brambles
Begging to unlearn
