Wandering Boy

Randy Newman

[Verse 1]
Thank you for the party
We're always glad we came
I'm the only one from the family tonight
But I know they'd say the same

[Verse 2]
I came here with my father
Then I brought my wife
Three sons, a daughter, and the last baby boy
The little caboose we called him
The light of her life
And that's who I'm waiting for

[Chorus]
Where is my wandering boy tonight?
Where is my wandering boy?
If you see him, push him toward the light
Where is my wandering boy?

[Bridge]
He went off on that high board there
When he was five years old
Laughing like a maniac
Shining in the sun like gold
He was afraid of nothin' then
He was loved by everyone
I see it clear as I see you
That day there in the sun

[Verse 3]
I hope he's warm and I hope he's dry
And that a stranger's eye is a friendly eye
And I hope he has someone close by his side
And I hope that he comes home

[Chorus]
Where is my wandering boy tonight?
Where is my wandering boy?
If you see him, tell him everything's alright
Push him toward the light
Where is my wandering boy?
