Barefoot Boy

Lyrics

Oh, barefoot boy
 Once he came unto a land
 Of forests and of streams
 That tumbled through
 The meadows to the sea
 He called it home
 For many were its wonders
 And he learned to live upon the land
 Taking only what he needed
 Barefoot boy
 He don't like your concrete
 He seek the country
 Any way he can
 
 Barefoot boy
 He's fading down your street
 Yes I know he'll never
 Come this way again
 
 And time passes on
 In this life of always changing
 People coming building cities
 Cut your forest pave your highway
 Oh, barefoot boy
 He wraps his blanket 'round his shoulders
 He says goodbye to misty mountains
 Once more he sets off to wander
 Oh, barefoot boy
 He don't like your concrete
 And he seek the country
 Any way he, any way that he can
 Barefoot boy
 He's fading down your street
 Yes I know he'll never
 Come this way again
