Sonny don’t go away, I am here all alone

And your daddy’s a sailor, who never comes home

Sonny lives on a farm, in the wide open space
C F C
And you can take off your sneakers, and give up the race

And you can lay yourself down, by a sweet river bed
F C G
But Sonny always remembers, what it was his mama said, and she said

Sonny caries a load, He is barely a man
C F C
There ain’t nothin’ to do, still he does what he can

And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
F C G
The waves keep on rollin' they’ve done that for years

It’s a hundred miles to town, Sonny’s never been there

Yet he walks to the highway and stands there and stares

Sonny’s dreams can’t be real
They’re just stories he’s read
They’re just stars in his eyes
F C
Just dreams in his head

He is hungry inside for the wild world outside
F C G
And I know I can’t hold on, I’ve tried, and I’ve tried, and I’ve tried
