The Boy Inside Of Me(Album Version) - The Statler Brothers

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
