Shy Boy - JD McPherson

This thing trips on the shortest of lips

And when the winter wind is blowing cold

I got a big old heart

One malicious remark just might hit me like a lightning bolt

They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk

I carry such a heavy load

You know you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk

'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy

I'm headed to the wall

At the top of the steps feeling like a smoking gun

Talking to the voices that don't talk back

It's you and me that I'm running from

They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk

I carry such a heavy load

You do a lot of damage when you talk that talk

'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy

A little baby cries out when he meets the world

The new day fears a setting sun

Talking to strangers always scared me to death

And now here I am talking to one

They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk

I carry such a heavy load

You know you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk

'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy

Can you truly take this fear away

I keep it under lock and key

What if I make a mistake I might not know what to say

Why do you put this burden on me

They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk

I carry such a heavy load

You know you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk

'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
