JD McPherson - Shy Boy lyrics

This thing trips on the shortest of lips and when the winter wind is blowing cold I got a big old heart One malicious remark just might hit me like a lightning bolt They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy I'm headed to the wall at the top of the steps feeling like a smoking gun Talking to the voices that don't talk back It's you and me that I'm running from They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy A little baby cries out when he meets the world The new day fears a setting sun Talking to strangers always scared me to d**h and now here I am talking to one They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy Can you truly take this fear away? I keep it under lock and key What if I make a mistake? I might not know what to say Why do you put this burden on me? They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
