lyrics

Sonny was angry
he said momma I don’t want to leave
box of crayons in hand
and his heart upon his sleeve

he said I don’t wanna go
where the big guys go
this playground here it’s all I know
momma, don’t make me go

it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
play with your baby toys

Sonny grew older
played on the baseball team
two equals two and nothing’s what it seems
Sonny was to go into business
teachers told him so
you’ll make a lot of money kid
Sonny said no
no

it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
play with your baby toys

Sonny went to college
read a book on philosophy
head spinnin’ in circles
he said please just let me be

machines said no
Sonny said why
isn’t that the way the world spins ‘round
machines said no
it’s time for you to be settling down

it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
play with your baby toys

Sonny looked away
Sonny looked down
little box he had as a kid
that made his world go ‘round

up in the attic
where wildflowers grew
where his imagination ran wild
he opened up the box and there he stood
a young lost child
a young lost child

it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
it’s alright
it’s alright boy
play with your baby toys

baby toys
baby toys

Sonny grew old
bought a house in New Mexico
sat by the fire
watched the light show

face full of wrinkles
walking across the miles
he looked into the flames
and smiled
