Tim McFate - Golden Boy

I am truly saddened to hear what you've gone through
I am hoping for the best I'll be thinking of you
Looking back I can see how things can happen so fast
It's a mystery to me

You said I was the Golden Boy
Different than the others
You would say
Not a black sheep
Not a fish out of water
Just a boy so far from home

I don't remember
What the fuck I was doing
But everybody said
That's ok
Is that ok
Is that ok
That's ok

Years ago I saw a train
Headed for the western plains
Passed me so quick that day
I dreamed about forgotten ways

I dreamed about those who came before
I peeled those apples to the core
I thought about
1 2 3 4

The crops are in the field and the cows are back
I filled up my old gunnysack
I took a picture on that day
No idea what to say

I saw the road that stretched out ahead
I left a note pinned on my bed
It said I don't know you well
But that's alright cause I can tell

You lived a life unknown to me
Your pictures have a mystery
And your letters in that hidden box
The ones you wrote to Goldilocks

Before the drought
Before the pills
Before you forgot
Those battle hills
I was there when you erased
All was gone without a trace

I came upon the golden boy
He was not like the others
You would say
Not a black sheep
Not a fish out of water
Just a stranger heading home
