Verse 1 Scraped knees and a bicycle chain Waiting out the summer rain Hiding out in a backyard fort Always coming up a little bit short They say I’m growing up too fast But I’m still tethered to the past Trying to fit in my older brother's shoes With nothing to win and nothing to lose Chorus 'Cause I’m just a boy with a pocket full of stones Trying to find my way back home Looking at the sky, wondering why The world gets heavy while the years fly by Yeah, I’m doing the best that I can Just a boy trying to figure out how to be a man Verse 2 The kitchen clock is ticking loud I just wanna make my father proud But my hands are small and my temper's quick And the rules of the road are a magic trick I look in the mirror and I see a man But I don’t think he knows who I am I’m still afraid of the dark sometimes Still making up silly little rhymes Chorus 'Cause I’m just a boy with a pocket full of stones Trying to find my way back home Looking at the sky, wondering why The world gets heavy while the years fly by Yeah, I’m doing the best that I can Just a boy trying to figure out how to be a man Bridge Don't ask me to lead the march today I’m still learning how to find my way Give me a minute, give me some room Before you expect the flower to bloom Chorus 'Cause I’m just a boy with a pocket full of stones Trying to find my way back home Looking at the sky, wondering why The world gets heavy while the years fly by Yeah, I’m doing the best that I can Just a boy trying to figure out how to be a man Outro Yeah, just a boy... Dirt on my jeans. Not quite sure what tomorrow means. Just a boy.
