Harry Chapin - 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 it's wonders
And he learned to live upon the land
Taking only what he needed

Barefoot boy he don't like the concrete
Seek the country any way he can

Barefoot boy he's fading down your street
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
Wraps his blanket 'round his shoulders
Says goodbye to misty valleys
Once more he sets off to wander
