[Verse 1]
We met in the fall
He was touching my hair
When he told me
He’s falling in love
The time wasn’t right
But I left him come in
By the fire and on the rug

[Pre-Chorus]
I told him go home
You’re way too young
And tried to say no
You’re way too young

[Chorus]
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
I know
[Verse 2]
He left in the spring
When the stars were asleep
In the morning I saw
He was gone
He left cause of me
When he heard we were free
He thought he done something wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to say no
You’re way too young
And tried to go home
You’re way too young

[Chorus]
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
I know
[Bridge]
Now summer went by
We screamed and we cried
It's falling, the sound is now gone
They're man at the door, in their uniforms
They tell me the news from the front
My boy was so brave, a hero they say
The enemy was out of luck
He fought like a lion, took six men to tie him right up until he got shot

[Chorus]
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
He was just a boy
He was just a boy
With nowhere to go
With no scars on his soul
I know
