my boys

(album: wear your heart out - 2023)

"Where my boys at?"

Had a rough go when I was 23
Everybody else was out getting their degree
I was drinking like a fish and had nowhere to sleep
No girl, no job or money
Just a twenty-something kid with anxiety
But the best things I have always came for free

In all my highs
Or when I fall
I know who I can call
I know their number by heart

My boys, my boys
I would pick 'em both if I had one choice
My boys, my boys
Always lift me up hallelujah rejoice
Got a girl that treats me nice but
No one's ever gonna love me like
My boys, my boys
Lemme tell you bout my boys, my boys

I'm introverted
Tend to feel deserted
Not the type to ever let you see it when I'm hurting
But when I need some help carrying my burden
They'll be right there
Some people chase cars and money
But I always seemed to think that that felt kinda funny
'Cause you could take it all and I'd still feel lucky

In all my highs
Or when I fall
I know who I can call
I know their number by heart

My boys, my boys
I would pick 'em both if I had one choice
My boys, my boys
Always lift me up hallelujah rejoice
Got a girl that treats me nice but
No one's ever gonna love me like
My boys, my boys
Lemme tell you bout my boys, my boys

In all my highs
Or when I fall
I know who I can call

My boys, my boys
I would pick 'em both if I had one choice
My boys, my boys
Always lift me up hallelujah rejoice
Got a girl that treats me nice but
No one's ever gonna love me like
My boys, my boys
Lemme tell you bout my boys, my boys
