Elsie's Baby Boy lyrics

[Intro: River Phoenix & Will Wheaton]

I'm never gonna get out of this town, am I, Gordie?

You can do anything you want, man

Yeah, sure, I’ll see ya

Not if I see you first

[Verse 1]

He had one older sister

Two older brothers

And a single-parent mother who

Worked her ass off, did the best she could

There was nothing they could tell him

Let the boy know he wasn't worthless

Even though he was in the same home

He had felt alone, his pet gerbil passed on

[Chorus]

He was so bored in the winter

So bored in the winter

He was so bored in the winter

Such a little sad boy, little sad boy

Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy

He was so bored in the winter

So bored in the winter

He was so bored in the winter

Such a little sad boy, little sad boy

Little sad boy, Elsie’s baby boy

[Verse 2]

By the time he was eleven

His father had left him

White church, sitting in the front row

All-white casket closed, he won't see him no more

He tried to disguise himself

Made sure that no one could tell

That in his soul, there's a wide-open hole

Something scarred him, so he can't let him go

He won't

[Chorus]

He was so bored in the winter

So bored in the winter

He was so bored in the winter

Such a little sad boy, little sad boy

Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy

He was so bored in the winter

So bored in the winter

He was so bored in the winter

Such a little sad boy, little sad boy

Little sad boy, Elsie's baby boy
