Lyrics and translation
Original
Little boy leaves home, but what does he really know?
No, he don't really know nothing.
Just trying to be somebody.
That old car blowing smoke.
Now that little boy got four wheels out on the road. Can't blame him, no. No, he didn't tell nobody.
Two hundred dollars and a suitcase. Hit the road on a big dream Sunday.
Lonely soul trying to find its own way.
Down to his last dollar by Tuesday. Almost turned around twice, but it's too late.
Got his head held high on his sweet escape.
Come on.
Got lost on the way.
Spent a few cold nights outside of Santa Fe, but he didn't mind it. There's something in that water.
Now he's finding his groove down the freeway.
Singing "I Wanna Be Free" in his blue suede. Saw the city lights and heard those voices fade away.
Ooh, why you breaking your mama's heart?
Why you leaving us in the dark a million miles away?
Ooh, don't you forget who you are.
Don't fall down the boulevard a million miles away.
Don't forget from where you came.
A two-year blink of an eye. Doing what any young man can do to get by.
Now he's backstage with the girl he used to dream of.
He got a little something now, he can't complain.
Fell in love with his June on a fall day. And when he picks up the phone, they all tell him how he's changed.
Ooh, why you breaking your mama's heart?
Why you leaving us in the dark a million miles away?
Ooh, don't you forget who you are.
Don't fall down the boulevard a million miles away.
Don't forget from where you came.
Ooh, why you breaking your mama's heart?
Why you leaving us in the dark a million miles away?
Ooh, don't you forget who you are.
Don't fall down the boulevard a million miles away.
Don't forget from where you came.
Little boy leaves home, what does he really know? No, he don't really know nothing.
Just trying to be somebody.
