Lyrics
Wandering Boy
Out in the road the lines intersect themselves
And when History show my girl you better dress yourself.
Oh my son!
He’s a wanderin’ boy
And he fills my heart with sorrows for every joy.
Under spotlight light I heard the car door slam
I put down my drink, got up to see if it was him
Oh my son!
He’s a wanderin’ boy
He had a novelist eye, thin skin, and he was unemployed.
Well the night got thick with sticks and stones and words
Johnny Cafferty made a scream like you never heard.
Oh my son!
He’s a wanderin’ boy
And if I live a thousand years I wont forget that noise.
Then at the first light of dawn
His parents called and said that he was gone
And I wasn’t trying to fool anyone.
Out in the road the lines intersect themselves
And when History show by god you better check yourself
It’s your own blood on your hands and your own head getting shaved.
You pick up the tab and the cab for all the souls you saved.
Oh my son!
He’s a wanderin’ boy
And he fills my heart with sorrows for every joy.
