"Lost Boy" lyrics

You had it baby, you were seventeen years old
I was on the road trying to make it my home
You had a man but he wasn't no good to ya
I was with women I didn't know

Foot loose, fancy free
Pretty lady, won't you dance with me?
'Cause one look from your eyes
And I knew that it was right this time

Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay
I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay
Where I was going
I was wandering, wandering, wandering around
Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay
I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy
Before you came around

Sweet country baby, you were singing at the airport
Raking in tips with the heel of your boot
I must have passed you by a hundred times before
Cupid saw it fit to let me dance with you

Foot loose, fancy free
Pretty lady, won't you dance with me?
'Cause one look from your eyes
And I knew that it was right this time

Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay
I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay
Where I was going
I was wandering, wandering, wandering around
Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay
I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy
Before you came around

I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

Before you came around ay-ay-ay-ay
I couldn't figure out ay-ay-ay
Where I was going
I was wandering, wandering, wandering around
Before I found my way-ay-ay-ay
I was running like a stray-ay-ay-ay
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy
Before you came around

Before you came around
Before you came around
