Lyrics Donovan Woods – My Boy

Where was my boy tonight again?
Where was my boy tonight again?
My heart overflows
I love him he knows that

Did you stay in the city last night?
Or did you find a good evening flight?
From all the stupid folks stuck in your life
Where was my boy last night?

Half of what you tell me cannot be true
If most of it is, I didn’t follow through
See, I promised your mom I’d look out for you
Where was my boy hitherto?

Oh, by the reigns
Half of us sane
Oh, by the reigns

Where was my boy tonight again?
Where was my boy tonight again?
My heart overflows
I love him he knows that
Where was my boy back then?

I was nine when you were ten
You would disappear with Marilyn
I would call and I call again
Where was my boy back then?

Now, what do I tell your mother?
I haven’t seen you in weeks
«I get him on the phone and he hardly speaks.»
He says, «Sweet little Donovan, you’re far too meek.»
What is this life he seeks?

Oh, by the reigns
Half of us sane
Oh, by the reigns

Where was my boy tonight again?
Where was my boy tonight again?
My heart overflows
I love him he knows that
Where was my boy back then?
