Verse 1

I was

only ten years

old

Like the back of

my hand knew the

roads

swerved my bike and

lost control, o

ver the handles

in the air

lady who came

walking by

found me lying there

N.C.

And the nurse at the hospital said

Chorus 1

Little boy,

don't be scared

Now your

father is waiting

in the next room

Little boy,

don't be sad

Now your

mom's on her way, you'll be

out of here soon, hmm-

mmmm

mmm

hmm,

hmmm

mmm

hmm

Verse 2

We drove so

slowly through these

streets

In the

suburbs of our

dreams, hmm-

night my father

closed his eyes, he

saw the new car

in the drive

mother standing

in the doorway,

Friday night, a

smile on her face

N.C.

And the voice I can hear in my head

Chorus 2

Little boy,

don't be scared

Now you

know we'll be sleeping

in the next room

Little boy,

don't be sad

Now to

morrow is as it is

comin' 'round soon, hmm-

mmmm

mmm

hmm,

hmmm

mmm

hmm

Bridge

only need a

little space

Just

somewhere we could

call our place

mother standing

in the doorway

Friday night, a

smile on her face

These things always

start so small

With

no applause and

no drum roll

And

I came running

up the hallway

See the car turn

in the driveway, hmm-hmmm

Outro

mmm

hmm

And I'll

always be that

little boy

And I've

always been that

little boy

Yeah, I'll

always be that

little boy

And I'll

always be that

little boy
