Steady Boy

from Elliot Arms by Elliot Arms

lyrics

You wait all day and he doesn't show
Two days past and a long way to go
You're growing lonely and mama's cold
You feed the fire

Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town

Worry creeps in, it's been three days
No letter, no reason for the wait
He's somewhere out there all alone
You pray the Lord to guide him safe back home

Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town

Your eyes search out the window
Mama's crying and you're losing hope
Steady boy, don't you worry now
I see a light a'coming, and it's getting close

Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town

Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town
