Gerry Rafferty - I Was A Boy Scout lyrics

I was a boy scout in St. Mary's troop I had my own patrol I had a necktie and a monkey suit 'Til I heard rock and roll. And I was going into something that was feelin' good It was something I could understand I was going into something, it was feeling free I was singing like a reborn man. I was around to see Columbus I used to lie a lot I had a Bible and a rosary And one day I forgot. And I was going into something that was feelin' good It was something I could understand I was going into something, it was feeling free I was singing like a reborn man. I sold the shoes, I had a great career Down at the Main Street store 'Til I decided I should disappear 'Til I walked out the door. And I was going into something that was feelin' good

It was something I could understand I was going into something, it was feeling free I was singing like a reborn man, yeah. I was a boy scout in St. Mary's troop I had my own patrol I had a necktie and a monkey suit 'Til I heard rock and roll. Now I was going into something that was feelin' good It was something I could understand I was going into something, it was feeling free I was singing like a reborn man. I was going into something that was feelin' good It was something I could understand I was going into something, it was feeling free I was singing like a reborn man, yeah, hey, mmm, hey I was a boy scout, mmm I had my own patrol, yeah.
