Mat Kearney - What's A Boy To Do lyrics

I'm sure that I'm moving to St. Louis

Three long years wondering here in New York City

I guess I'm looking for the right way to do this

I guess I'm looking for the right things to call pretty

Young boys playing in the park, turning their backs to take a shot

You know I'll stay sharp around here 'cause they're stoning and leaving type

It's the kind of love that comes and goes when there's company coming around

What's a boy to do knows no man now?

What's a boy to do knows no man now?

Daddy's been looking down his nose at all of them

And I've been looking 'round for someone to tell me who I am

He kept saying I was too young to finish a fight

I'd die each time they came I never got to draw my knife

Well, it was just a pair of shoes in a middle school room with the world watching in

And angel is crying, I'm dying just a little inside as they ran away

Funny which words stick around 20 years down when you're driving alone

What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?

What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?

Well, I'll stack all my books in perfect rows

From the biggest down to the smallest ones

And I buy all the perfect clothes

Bullet proof and black where I look like a son

Well, it was just a rain night at his house, a bottle spinning around the room

And everybody's singing and slipping down the bottom halfway rush of blood

And I was grabbing Missy but I was trying to find the light switch in the dark

What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?

What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?

It's all quiet for the first time

With no voices left to fall

I saw a boy at the bottom of the bridge

His car was left there on the top

It's four o'clock in the morning

Didn't need to be like this

There's a white sheet left to cover up

What should have been a holy kiss

It's not like those days

It's not like I'm scared of you

What's the son of man and a boy to do?

What's the son of man and a boy to you?
