And the nurse at the hospital said Little boy, don't be scared Now your father is waiting in the next room Little boy, don't be sad Now your mom's on her way, you'll be out of here soon, hmm-mmmm Mmmmm hmm, hmmm Mmmmm hmm Verse 2 We drove so slowly through these streets In the suburbs of our dreams, hmm-mm At night my father closed his eyes, he saw the new car in the drive My mother standing in the doorway, Friday night, a smile on her face N.C. And the voice I can hear in my head Little boy, don't be scared Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room Little boy, don't be sad Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon, hmm-mmmm Mmmmm hmm, hmmm Mmmmm hmm Bridge We only need a little space Just somewhere we could call our place My mother standing in the doorway Friday night, a smile on her face These things always start so small With no applause and no drum roll And I came running up the hallway See the car turn in the driveway, hmm-hmmm Outro Mmmmm hmm And I'll always be that little boy And I've always been that little boy Yeah, I'll always be that little boy And I'll always be that little boy
