  • Heard it on the radio today, composed by Leo Sayer & David Courtney. This performance by Roger Daltrey really hit a chord with me after missing what it had to offer when it was first released in '73

    Stunning. I am crying. 68yrs now and what a wonderful time it was. My 4 lovely children, now adults. What a shocking world we are passing to them.

    Brings tears to my eyes. I remember my oldest brother turning me on to this in 1970 or 71. Turned 10 in 1970 turned 20 in 80 God I was so lucky to have lived that time in my teens.only the lucky ones go to our grave with those memories

    I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,
    I got up and walked away.
    Oh, I was just a boy,
    I didn't know how to play.
    Worked hard and failed
    now all I can say is
    I threw it all away.
    Oh, I was just a boy
    giving it all away...
    sail away, sail away,
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    giving it all away
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    I've given it all away...
    Went out in the world too much for my nerves
    only myself to blame.
    oh, I was just a boy
    nobody else to blame...
    I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
    stand on my head and say
    oh, I was just a boy
    giving it all away...
    sail away, sail away,
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    giving it all away
    ooh, I know better now, I know better now
    given it all away..
