Lonely Boy
Joe Bonamassa Lyrics

Oh, I had my mother tell me son
From a young age, my mother told me that even though I have brothers, I am an individual and must make my own way in life.

You have brothers but you're only one
My mother stressed the importance of recognizing my own unique identity and not being defined solely by my relationship to my siblings.

She knew what she had to do
My mother understood the importance of teaching me to be self-sufficient and independent.

All my life reaching out for you
Despite my mother’s guidance, I still feel a sense of loneliness and longing for connection with others.

I believe
Despite feeling alone, I continue to have faith in myself and my ability to overcome challenges.

Lonely boy this time
This sense of isolation is a recurring theme in my life, but I am determined to persevere.

I'm alone on this matter
Even though I may have friends and family, ultimately I am responsible for my own decisions and actions.

Well, she strut her stuff down Oxford Street
I saw a woman who appeared confident and self-assured, perhaps inspiring a desire in me to project the same qualities.

She looking like she hadn't eat
Despite her apparent confidence, this woman seemed to be struggling with her own challenges and insecurities.

I tell myself what could go wrong
As I observe others, I try to learn from their experiences while also recognizing that everyone has their own struggles and setbacks.

Another tale of the same old song
Despite people’s differences, I notice a common thread of adversity and struggle that unites us.

Early morning starting school
As a child, my school experience was a major aspect of my daily routine and life.

Soon became the classroom fool
Unfortunately, I often felt like an outcast or outsider in my school environment.

Went to church in my Sunday shoes
As a child, attending church was another regular part of my life.

People talk about my point of view
However, I often struggled to fit in and express myself in ways that others could relate to or understand.

Well, a spoonful of white
I turned to drugs as a means of coping with my struggles and feelings of isolation.

Just to try to get her black
I may have thought that drugs would help me connect with others or feel less alone, but ultimately they only compounded my problems.

I know my baby's gone
Despite my efforts to escape my problems through drugs and other means, I am still alone and struggling.

She makes me blow my back
My problems and challenges continue to weigh heavily on me.
