Well you say you'll climb the highest mountain
In the whole damn world
I think you will yes i'm sure you will
But you may need some guy you know
Down at base camp far below
I could help a lot yes and maybe not

Don't lose me boy
Now that you've found your way
Leave me some light of day
So these old eyes can see their way
Off you go and out the door
Don't you look back any more
Between the pain and the joy
Don't lose me boy
Don't you lose me boy

So you say you'll be the next hendrix
Clapton or buddy guy
I think you will yes i'm sure you will
But who you got on that second guitar
Background vocals electric sitar and changing strings
I can do lots of things

You'll probably roll your eyes
And tell me to lighten up
I think i will some day i'm sure i will
But this song is for your mom and me
Just before we set you free
So listen if you can
Boy take it like a man
