The Lonesome Drifter - Eager Boy Lyrics

Yeah, I'm just an eager boy who from the country came
Selected by a group who thought I'd bring them fame
I'm plannin' for my future, someday I'll be great
I'm hopin' to be leader from my state
Past they said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy

Yeah, I know I'm young but I know I'm bright
I like to help the weary ones to see the light
I don't believe a broken path is fine
I think we can succeed if we only try
Past they said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy
Oh yeah

Well, I wanna go to Washington to do my share
I'll help out all my time when I get up there
I'd like to be a senator if they don't mind
I might even get to be president
Past they said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy

Yes, I know I'm young but I know I'm bright
I like to help the weary ones to see the light
I don't believe a broke path is fine
I think we can succeed if we only try
Past they said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy
