Lyrics
Verse 1:
Golden Boy, where have you been
Out there walking the streets at night alone again
The city lights are wearing thin
Could you come back to the country, you know you can
Chorus:
Your mother's praying all alone
She's hoping some day that He'll bring you back home
Verse 2:
Golden Boy, where have you been
You only do the things that you can do
Golden Boy, where have you gone
You only go the places that you choose
Chorus:
Instrumental:
Chorus:
Before the dawn, could you come back to the country
Where you belong.
