Kevin Johnson - He Was Just A Boy lyrics

He was just a boy he didn't know no better Just a boy he didn't understand Thought the world was a bed of roses Thought the times were easy times Hitched a ride on the highway When the highway, Was a friend of mine The conversation came to music And that guitar case in his hand And there were dreams about tomorrow There were tales about the times There was a rainbow down the highway And the highway was a friend of mine He was the one if there was ever a one most likely to believe That he was the one who had everything you need And so the future shone so bright Like the neon signs and the city lights It was on that cold December night in the snow Somehow we made it into Chicago Was an old guitar but he played like magic I had a song or two that I sung in tune And every town was an indication That every night would be a new year's eve And every show was an inspiration They never wanted us to leave The road is long the road is narrow Take one step wrong you can lose your way And every turn has a new temptation Every town has the one you need He hitched a ride on a new sensation That he never wanted to leave 'Cause he was just a boy he didn't know no better Just a boy he didn't understand And he was the one if there was every a one most likely to succeed He was the one who had everything you need And though the future shone so bright Like the neon signs and the city lights It was on that Southern Summer night on the road I saw the lights go out in Toledo
