on blocks in the back yard
My little boy plays at the wheel
around to fixin' that car
There's a pile of old books in our garage
On how to be and how to do
And they're sittin' where he left
them when it got too hard
He never sees anything through
They're just things he'll never do
And of all the big time dreams he's had
I'm the one forgotten fool
arrived at the front door
Heaven knows what it could be
That's not hard to believe
With a brand new list of things to do
Why he'll never be a dream come true
He never sees anything through
They're just things he'll never do
I'm the one forgotten fool
Everybody tells me my life has just begun
And I will spend the rest of my
He never sees anything through
They're just things he'll never do
And of all the big time dreams he's had
He never sees anything through
My little boy plays at the wheel
