Lost Boy In The Wilderness

Lost Boy In The Wilderness

It's a hard world. It's a cold world.
It's a stiff price you pay
When you're a lost boy in the wilderness
And you're trying to find your way.
And I'm going home.
Gonna be home some day.
I will be home when I make my getaway.

Well I never been down on the killing floor.
I never shot no one.
Never laid nobody down but
I been a hired gun.
And I'm going home.
Gonna be home some day.
I will be home when I make my getaway.

Well, once I was young as a Saturday night.
I was sweet as the month of May.
Now I'm a lost boy in the wilderness
And I'm trying to find my way.
I'm going home.
Gonna be home some day.
I will be home when I make my getaway.

It's a hard world. It's a cold world.
It's a stiff price you pay.
When you're a lost boy in the wilderness
And you're trying to find your way
I'm going home.
Gonna be home some day.
I will be home when I make my getaway.
I will be home when I make my getaway.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Join The Jubilee CD.
