Bold Boy from Understudy by The Great Park

bold boy

what you gonna do when your luck runs out bold boy
what you gonna do when your luck runs out bold boy
what you gonna do when your luck runs out
grab me a bottle and drink it on down be a bold boy

what you gonna do when the bottle runs out bold boy
what you gonna do when the bottle runs out bold boy
what you gonna do when the bottle runs out
chase these women all over town and be a bold boy

what you gonna do when your shoes give out bold boy
what you gonna do when your shoes give out bold boy
when my shoes give out i’m gonna get off the street
take an old chair and get off my feet be a bold boy

what you gonna do when the chair gives out bold boy
what you gonna do when the chair gives out bold boy
well i got no bottle no chair no shoes
i’ll lay on my bed with my head in the blues be a bold boy

all the pistol shots go bang bang bang in the morning
all the pistol shots go bang bang bang in the evening
all the pistol shots go bang bang bang
i’ll keep on sleeping give a good god damn i’m a bold boy
