"what does he really know" lyrics

Little boy leaves home
But what does he really know?
No he don't really know nothing
Just trying to be somebody

That old car blowing smoke
Now that little boy got four wheels
Out on the road
Can't blame him though
No he didn't tell nobody

Two hundred dollars in a suitcase
Hit the road on a big dream Sunday
Lonely soul trying to find his own way
Down to his last dollar by Tuesday
He almost turned around twice but it's too late
Got his head held high on his sweet escape (c'mon)

Got lost on the way
Spent a few cold nights outside Santa Fe
But he didn't mind it
There's something in that water
Now he's finding his groove down the freeway
Sing "I wanna be free" in his blue suedes
Saw the city lights and heard those voices fade away

Ooh, why you breaking your mama's heart?
Why you leaving us in the dark?
A million miles away
Ooh, don't you forget who you are
Don't fall down the boulevard
A million miles away
Don't forget from where you came

A two year blink of an eye
Doing what any young man can do to get by
Now he's backstage with a girl he used to dream of
He got a little something now he can't complain
Fell in love with his June on a fall day
When he picks up the phone
They all tell him how he's changed

Ooh, why you breaking your mama's heart?
Why you leaving us in the dark?
A million miles away
Ooh, don't you forget who you are
Don't fall down the boulevard
A million miles away
Don't forget from where you came

Ooh, why you breaking your mama's heart?
Why you leaving us in the dark?
A million miles away
Ooh, don't you forget who you are
Don't fall down the boulevard
A million miles away
Don't forget from where you came

Little boy leaves home
But what does he really know?
No he don't really know nothing
Just trying to be somebody
