Paid all my dues, so I picked up my shoes
and got up and walked away.
Oh, I was just a boy,
giving it all away.
I worked hard and failed,
now all I can say is I threw it all away.
Oh, I was just a boy,
giving it all away.
Sailed away,
sailed away.
Well,
I know better now,
I know better now,
of giving it all away.
Oh,
yeah,
I know better now,
I know better now,
of giving it all away.
When out in the world,
too much for my nerves,
well,
only myself to blame.
See, I was just
a boy,
and there was nobody else to blame.
I've done all I can now, it's out of my hands,
stand on my head and say,
oh, I was just a boy,
giving it all away.
Sailed away,
yeah,
sailed away.
Oh,
I know better now, I know better now,
ain't gonna give it all away.
Oh, yeah, I know better now,
I know better now,
ain't gonna give it all away.
Oh, I
know better now, I know better now,
I've given it all away.
Oh,
I know better now,
I know
better now, I've given it all away.
See, I was just a boy,
giving it all away.
Yeah,
I was just a boy,
giving it all away.
See, I was just a boy,
giving it all away.
I was
just a boy.
I was just a boy.
I know better now.
I was just a boy, giving it all away.
I was just a boy.
Just a boy.
Just a boy.
