I'm A Boy by Adam Woodard published on 2023-02-11T23:47:47Z Ever since the day my poor life first began They say I gotta be a man Boy you gotta be a man You gotta slave away like bacon in a frying pan If you want to be a man Well I don’t want to be a man ‘Cause I’m a boy, I’m a boy I’m a wonderful bundle of joy And it feels so good It feels so right I’ll be a boy my whole life Cash in hand, on demand I got the world in the palm of my hand It’s ecstasy just being me You’re never gonna understand Lucky me, lucky you What a very lucky thing to do ‘Cause to be a boy is to be in love with you Back in 1985 The world is young and so am I Daddy says that boys don’t cry As the tears fall from my eyes Then I heard the word on the radio The word is good the word is rock and roll X and why? Just because It’s a thunderous wondrous buzz So be a boy and you’ll always be in love (Piano/Organ solo) Good Boys Do Fine This old boy has a plan I’d rather die than be a man I’ll drink my cup and when I’ve had enough I’m heading to the promised land Lucky me, lucky you What a very lucky thing to do ‘Cause to be a boy is to be in love with... To be a boy is to be in love with... To be a boy is to be in love with you And you And you Genre Pop Rock Comment by Pippen Park love this one too 2023-10-30T15:22:45Z Comment by Craig T Elliott Another great song! 2023-06-22T12:49:31Z Comment by Riffindots (Britta Pejic) But then.... 2023-06-10T23:03:07Z Comment by Riffindots (Britta Pejic) It has a Kinks dirge to it! 2023-06-10T23:02:22Z Comment by kbzxl luv 2023-06-06T20:59:35Z Comment by Steve Low 2 songs in one - nice fresh retro feel! 2023-03-28T17:53:03Z Comment by Tam Jennifer love this! 2023-02-23T05:29:40Z Comment by Brian Peters Great arrangement and lovely sounds, Adam!!! 2023-02-22T17:14:11Z Comment by Mike Molino Excellent songwriting, amazing lyrics, Great performance very original and good.

Leaving us all looking up slack jawed. 2023-02-14T17:50:32Z Comment by Refracted Memories Great song ❤️ 2023-02-14T14:51:57Z Comment by FuWatt So cool!!! 2023-02-14T14:43:15Z Comment by markjbennett Great writing and such a cool delivery.

Something caught my attention and I"m sure glad I gave this a spin and found you. Cool bio too:) 2023-02-14T10:00:49Z Comment by Jonathan Beckenstein Go to the head of the class, my friend. This should be on every radio (is there still radio) right next to many of my favorite artists. Everything about it is top notch and makes me smile, knowingly. This topic is one I have been steeped in again and again throughout my own life, and now, the life of my adult kid. I won't burden you with those details and will only say this is a fabulous effort that works on so many levels. 2023-02-13T14:38:17Z Comment by tbone711 Could spend hours dissecting this. The shift from chain gang spiritual to rollicking rocker is brilliant…every choice works including the live kit, Frankenfurter would concur;). 2023-02-12T21:09:22Z Comment by Mr Cagey Top toon. Fab intro. The kits sounds great, you done real good matey. It was worth all the work. 2023-02-12T21:01:59Z Comment by E-Ruizzo Hooking spectacular song with changes and performance !! 2023-02-12T19:42:17Z Comment by burn-it-smith What a little cracker, full of verve and. such fine lines in the lyrics - slave away like bacon in a frying pan but it Is the 'liveness' of the track that really delights the ears. Love it! 2023-02-12T18:31:53Z Comment by CW Mullins this is so good. I have a kind of similar song "Why I had To learn." But yours is more upbeat and fun 2023-02-12T17:37:50Z Comment by Lilli A. great guitar and real good voice 2023-02-12T14:58:03Z Comment by Jeff Roberts great tune and sound; did you play those drums? there's a human tempo & dynamics breathing that's so hard to duplicate (and isn't heard in so much of current music); classic feel so much like Big Star, Mott the H, Elton John, early Bowie, T Rex you know the cool stuff; nice work Adam! 2023-02-12T00:03:56Z
