Was born a welder's son And I don't forget where I come from A little hard to understand 'Cause I'm half a boy and half a man And I don't wanna die till the living's been done Lord knows I've had my fun Getting high in the noon day sun Watching them come and go one by one, yeah I'll never be your one and only There's more to me than what you see I can't help being what I am I'm half a boy and half a man And I left my home at an early age Broke my chains and rattled my cage Kicked around in an old tin can That's why I'm half a boy and half a man And I don't wanna die till the living's been done Lord knows I've had my fun Getting high in the noon day sun Watching them come and go one by one, yeah I'll never be your one and only There's more to me than what you see I can't help being what I am I'm half a boy and half a man And I don't stop and I can't say no I get a taste and away I go Both a tiger and a little lost lamb I'm half a boy and half a man I'll never be the one and only There's more to me than what you see I can't help being what I am I'm half a boy and half a man I'll never be the one and only There's more to me than what you see I can't help being what I am 'Cause I'm half a boy and half a man
