Golden Boy Lyrics

I am truly saddened to hear what you've gone through

I am hoping for the best I'll be thinking of you

Looking back I can see how things can happen so fast

It's a mystery to me

You said I was the Golden Boy

Different than the others

You would say

Not a black sheep

Not a fish out of water

Just a boy so far from home

I don't remember

What the heck I was doing

But everybody said

That's ok

Is that ok

Is that ok

That's ok

Years ago I saw a train

Headed for the western plains

Passed me so quick that day

I dreamed about forgotten ways

I dreamed about those who came before

I peeled those apples to the core

I thought about

One, two, three, four

The crops are in the field and the cows are back

I filled up my old gunnysack

I took a picture on that day

No idea what to say

I saw the road that stretched out ahead

I left a note pinned on my bed

It said I don't know you well

But that's alright cause I can tell

You lived a life unknown to me

Your pictures have a mystery

And your letters in that hidden box

The ones you wrote to Goldilocks

Before the drought

Before the pills

Before you forgot

Those battle hills

I was there when you erased

All was gone without a trace

I came upon the golden boy

He was not like the others

You would say

Not a black sheep

Not a fish out of water

Just a stranger

On his way home
