The Boy Inside Of Me(Album Version)

When I was just a kid

I used to wonder all the time

I had imagination and a very active mind

I played a game called Wonder If and one called Let's Pretend

I had a pirate's treasure and a fortress to defend

I made frequent visits to

Venus and the

Moon

I could be

George Washington

John Wayne or

Daniel Boone

I never feared for anything for

I could always be

Any man I wanted through the boy inside of me

I had a stack of baseball cards and

I had chicken pox

I had a red bicycle a frog and smelly socks

I had a praying mantis that

I kept in a jar

I had a dog named

Freckles got run over by a car

I could be

D**k Tracy in my

Daddy's Sunday hat

I was Joe

Palooka

I was this and that

I never feared for anything for

I could always be

Any man I wanted through the boy inside of me

Things slowly fell together

I grew into a man

I learned to live with politics and tie of foreign hands

I've taken on a family and payin' for a home

And live life so my son can have a hero of his own

And sometimes when this hero is required to show his stuff

He just calls on the stuff he learned while he was growin' up

So this hero owes it all though humble it may be

The man I am resulted from the boy inside of me

The man I am resulted from the boy inside of me
