Cherry Boy
Cherry Boy...Cherry Boy

He’d left town as a boy...With no farewell
He came home as a stranger...Mean as Hell
Some said he’d been in the War...But no one knew for sure
One look in his eyes...Was enough to make you cry

Ready for a firefight...A trained killer in the night
Ready for a firefight…Praying for the morning light

He was the boy wonder...Captain of the team
Traded his football...For an M-16
The daily body count...Replaced the score
His sweethearts face...Became the face of a ****

Ready for a firefight...Lonely killer in the night
Ready for a firefight...He knows it’s all a lie

Cherry Boy...Cherry Boy

He keeps his boyhood home...A ways out from town
Just in Case...He wants to settle down
They say he travels the world...But never sees the sights
Right now he’s alone...In the City of Lights
Ready for a firefight...no more killer in the night
Ready for a firefight...waiting for a day to die

Cherry Boy...Cherry Boy
