Andy Boy Lyrics

Andy once tried losing sight

Walked the streets with eyes shut tight

The lamppost took him by surprise

His blindness was its best disguise

Oh Andy

Determination don't always come in handy

Ever since that fateful day

Andy never walked astray

Looking forward, looking back

And always on the same old track

That would get him where he'd wanna be

What he thought was his destiny

That's why he didn't hesitate to ask

The girl he fell for after class

Oh Andy

Sometimes determination can really come in handy

And as the years went flying by

He neither strayed to left nor right

While his friends kept getting high

Andy took the night train rides

Getting to the one he knew he'd keep

But futures ain't exactly cheap

And so he hustled stereos and tapes

Till they could make their great escape

Oh Andy

Now whose determination did really come in handy

And don't you ever think that life

Ain't gonna play out your way

Ain't even playing your game at all

But you don't lose just by taking a fall

Andy Boy, are you in charge

Oh, Andy Boy, are you in charge
