Chorus
Met a little boy in Baton Rouge
Eyes were clear and his heart was true
Made that boy's heart scream my name
But he didn't know the game
But he didn't know the game
Chorus
You don't want to be standin' there
When the storm hits you won't have a prayer
My wind will blow you to your knee
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
