They used to call me Boy Wonder, oh that used to be my name.
Boy Wonder, Boy Wonder, oh my best friend used to call me that name. (Sure did)
I thought he was just kiddingâ around, oh until my mother called his house one Sunday night.
She says you gotta stop this boy from hangin around with your son. Oh he aint keeping the right company.
Oh and I didnât find out till about two weeks, Lord have mercy.
She told me over the phone, oh you canât go swimming with my boy Paul anymore.
I felt so bad, oh that his mother had to tell me these things.
I felt so bad, oh that his mother had to tell me these things it hurt me so deep.
Oh and like a knife they cut deep.
And like that old, old saying.
You gotta reap, you gotta reap just what you sow, Lord have mercy.
Lord have mercy, oh Iâm just a poor lonely boy. I know I done wrong.
Getting paid back, oh for all those things I used to do were so mean.
Oh I remember the time when Iâ¦
Yes I ran away from home, oh I could not stand to stay around that house any longer.
Yea me and Fred we ran away, oh it was one fine Monday morning. (We didnât go to school that day, no we didnât want to go to school)
Oh yes I had thirty dollars saved up in my pocket, and I used it to get to Pittsburg PA, I think Fred only had about fifteen on him.
But it makes no difference now, cause I hurt them people so bad.
And Iâve come to find out just this morning,
Yes I come to find out just this morning, (seems like just yesterday, that I been a fool)
Seem like I donât care, but I know you still got to reap.
He said help yourself help yourself boy.
And I said I just canât help myself and I donât know what in the world Iâm doing today.
He said help yourself help yourself boy, oh and the boss told me he says you gotta start helping yourself or youâre gonna be lost.
So the next week I quit, he said he was gonna fire me anyway. I said thatâs alright, I hate this job.
And Iâll tell you why now.
Lord have mercy.
