Elsie's Baby Boy (flashback)

歌詞

I'm never gonna get out of this town, am I, Gordie? You can do anything you want, man Yeah, sure, I'll see ya Not if I see you first He had one older sister Two older brothers And a single-parent mother who Worked her ass off, did the best she could There was nothing they could tell him Let the boy know he wasn't worthless Even though he was in the same home He had felt alone, his pet gerbil passed on He was so bored in the winter So bored in the winter He was so bored in the winter Such a little sad boy, little sad boy Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy He was so bored in the winter So bored in the winter He was so bored in the winter Such a little sad boy, little sad boy Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy By the time he was eleven His father had left him White church, sitting in the front row All-white casket closed, he won't see him no more He tried to disguise himself Made sure that no one could tell That in his soul, there's a wide-open hole Something scarred him, so he can't let him go He won't He was so bored in the winter So bored in the winter He was so bored in the winter Such a little sad boy, little sad boy Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy He was so bored in the winter So bored in the winter He was so bored in the winter Such a little sad boy, little sad boy Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy
