Little Boy Big World Lyrics by Rick Barry

Declaration Of Codependence

2006

[Verse 1]
Standing at a crossroads with a water pistol in his hand
And a love letter in the other
All of these emotions he will never understand
He will never put them in order
Looking at a photograph taken a year ago today
In some other place a thousand miles away and
[Chorus 1]
That's what this little boy is needing now
A little perspective, a little understanding
That's what this little boy is dreaming of
A love without exception, a love worth defending
That's what this little boy needs
[Verse 2]
A mountain of misery passes through his rear view mirror
The taste of it all still lingers
In hindsight now he can see it so much clearer
He let is slip right through his fingers
With every passing mile sign is a new adventure to unfold
Another señorita, another beer served ice cold and
[Chorus 2]
That's what this little boy is needing now
A little time to clear his head
That's what this little boy is dreaming of
A lover miles away, waiting in her bed for him
That's what this little boy needs
[Verse 3]
Now he's looking back on friends, lovers, and enemies
The lines that separate them all have vanished
And they all become one solid gracious entity
Both the embraced and the banished
But the memory of one still festers in his brain
There's a bit of unfinished business that still remains and
[Chorus 3]
That's what this little boy is needing now
A little bit of tenderness, a little bit of sacrifice
That's what this little boy is dreaming of
Taking what is needed instead of what will suffice, yeah
That's what this little boy needs, needs, needs
