Eddy Boy

Eddy Boy now what you doin'?
Go on get back fore you ruin your life With just grade seven on your tomb
Tells me a tale of when things were different Went and pissed off the principal's assistant Flunked out for looking at the wrong girl

His old man drove him to town Gave him twenty dollars
Said no more foolin' around You wanna be a man?
Well a man's got work to do

Fourteen no education
Lied about his age every application Fittin' tires while going to school at night Off to the mines two babies to feed
Mailing home money and the things they need Freshly broken heart
Kept him way too long

Rough around the edges like most young men Could drink a beer with the best of them
Smoked his share and played a mean guitar too Don't get much more old school than that
Hear it in his voice, feel it in his hands Taught me how to sing
All his favourite songs

So when you're sittin' in an aluminum chair Gears at the knees
Got no clutch
Only got one speed
Who cares where we go now Let's just get there you and me

Oh Eddy Boy

Just cause you ain't walkin'
Don't mean you ain't a traveler Remember the good times
And every day after
Oh it's like an endless highway I know how you feel
So Eddy Boy, sit back, let me take the wheel Oh Eddy Boy, you earned your rest
Let me take the wheel
