Little Boy Lost

Little boy out playing in the woods
Climbing trees and thinks he's Robin Hood
He doesn't notice that its getting dark
As he's walking further on alone
He hears his mama's voice say
"Son, come home"
His daydreaming's taken him too far

He's a little boy lost
Little boy blue
Making a wish, his dreams come true
But he doesn't know
How much it cost
To become a man
He's a little boy lost

A young man, now playing his guitar
Says "Someday mom, I'm gonna be a star"
She laughs and says "You've always been a dreamer"
Standing on the Opry stage he sings
He's no longer standing in the wings
Now there's nothing left for him to dream

He's a little boy lost
Little boy blue
Wishing sometimes, dreams didn't come true
He paid the price
Now he knows the cost
Inside the man
There's a little boy lost

Kentucky bluebird, you finally spread your wings to fly
Left behind a legacy
And in our hearts, will never die

Little boy lost
Little boy blue
Wishing sometimes, dreams didn't come true
He paid the price
Now he knows the cost
Inside the man
There's a little boy lost

I think he knew
When he sang his songs
Inside of me
Was a little boy lost

Little boy lost
Kentucky bluebird
