Gran Bel Fisher - Baby Boy lyrics

He threw it all away But that's not the way he's seeing it He picked a hell of a road to go his own way He took a shortcut through a dead end to find a better place He turned a hard life's last chance into amazing grace It was a cold day He had a hot night With a head full of this And a soul needing that Now you can't go back From your cocoon You can turn into a bu*terfly, oh, but only once Watch it fly on by, bound for the brightest day Is there glory in his story, or will he just fade away? Bold be the move he made, but taken was the price he paid It was a cold day He had a hot night With a head full of this And a soul needing that Now you can't go back Desperate for a lullaby Baby boy, you made your mama cry She said, "You lie" She said, "You lie" God save my baby boy My baby boy My baby boy My baby boy It was a cold day He had a hot night With a head full of this And a soul needing that Now you can't, can't, can't Now you can't go back It was a cold day He had a hot night With a head full of this And a soul needing that Now you can't go back You can't go back You can't go back
