lyrics

Hey boy you’re only getting older
There’s a twinkle dimming in your eye
Years later when his skin is colder
He’ll call this the best time of his life
God help the kid but he’s gotta make a living
But he likes to dream about words and girls that he finds pretty
Hey boy put it down on paper
Says he never seems to have the time
He’s got a job off 45
Sweating through the summer nights
Big dreams in his head
But at the end of the day all he has is a check
And when you size him up for the first time
All you see through the grit and grime are his
Stonecutter eyes
Don’t deceive me and just know you’ve got time
But it’s looking like he may settle for a simple life
“I’ll get there one way or another”
That’s what he says
Without doing much beyond reading books in bed
One night I told him to hop on my shoulder
And see all the people who could sterilize
Your stonecutter eyes
Hey boy you’ve got plenty of time
And what it takes but first you’ve gotta step outside
