Eager Boy by The Lonesome Drifter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm just an eager boy who from the country came
Selected by a group who thought I'd bring them fame
I'm plannin' for my future, someday I'll be great
I'm hopin' to be leader from my state

[Chorus]
Papa said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy

[Verse 2]
Well, I know I'm young, but I know I'm right
I'd like to help the weary ones to see the light
I don't believe this world can pass us by
I think we can succeed if we only try

[Chorus]
Papa said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy, oh yeah

[Guitar Solo 1]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I wanna go to Washington to do my share
I'll help out all my kind when I get up there
Wanna be a senator if they don't mind
I'd like to be your president in my time

[Chorus]
Papa said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy, oh yeah

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I know I'm young, but I know I'm right
I'd like to help the weary ones to see the light
I don't believe this world can pass us by
I think we can succeed if we only try

[Chorus]
Papa said they treat me like a toy
Because I'm just an eager boy, oh yeah, oh yeah
