Elsie's Baby Boy (flashback)

I'm never gonna get out of 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 to the best she could

There was nothing they could tell him

That the boy, no he wasn't worthless

Even though he was in the same home

He had felt alone, his past trouble 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

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 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
