Well you say you'll climb the highest mountain In the whole damn world I think you will yes I'm sure you will But you may need some guy you know Down at base camp far below I could help a lot yes and maybe not Chorus Don't lose me boy Now that you've found your way Leave me some light of day So these old eyes can see their way Off you go and out the door Don't you look back any more Between the pain and the joy Don't lose me boy Don't you lose me boy So you say you'll be the next Hendrix Clapton or Buddy Guy I think you will yes I'm sure you will But who you got on that second guitar Background vocals electric sitar and changing strings I can do lots of things CHORUS You'll probably roll your eyes And tell me to lighten up I think I will some day I'm sure I will But this song is for your mom and me Just before we set you free So listen if you can Boy take it like a man CHORUS
