Come in from the cold you must be cold Thread bare against a freezing wind is a short time gettin' old Come and sit down tell me where you've been Rest your soul beside the fire till it's time to go again
Take me back One more time Where the railroad tracks Meet the kudzu vine Wandering boy
The blood that's flowing through you flows through me When I look in any mirror it's your face that I see And you're my only brother I'm your twin And you've come home to rest awhile and shed your dying skin
Ease your mind Have no fear When it comes your time I'll be here Wandering boy
We're two Houston kids Sailin' mason jar lids With our pop bottles hid By the bayou bend In the wild East End Welcome back again Wandering boy
I used to cast my judgements like a net All those California gay boys deserved just what they get Little did I know there would come a day When my words would come back screaming like a debt I have to pay
Lean on me I'll be strong We're almost free It won't be long Wandering boy
