[Verse 1]


  Where did th

e kid go?
              
Never in troub

         
le, no curfew
              
They knew he'd

     
 be home

I hear the ech

oes

Where was the memo?
             
Oh, I wish he 

              
had shown up f

    
or this

[Bridge 1]
           
For those eyes

 to see
       
This sunrise
             
Oh, I hope he 

              
didn't travel 

     
too far
            
Oh, I hope tha

              
t kid's still 

            
somewhere in m

   
y heart


[Verse 2]


Where did the 

kid go?

The one down by the meadow
         
In his quiet p

lace
            
Out by the pon

d

I miss the mud

 stains

Chasing the sun rays
             
  I miss my wo

           
rld being smal

l
            
  Turns out I 

            
miss that kid 

       
after all


[Verse 3]


Where did the 

kid go?

Oh, it used to be simple
         
I'd just go ou

tside
              
Play wiffle ba

           
ll in the yard

Used to look o

ut my window

Just to see how the wind blows
          
All the grass
              
Into images of

              
 critters and 

 
cars


[Bridge 2]
         
Oh, I'd bring 

out
              
The old blue r

         
ecycling bin
             
So I could jum

p off
              
And dunk until

         
 it got dark
            
Now I see it i

            
n my kid's eye

s
              
And it brings 

           
back the spark

[Chorus 1]
             
Why'd you go w

      
ithout me?
             
Don't you know

          
 I'm still her

e?
              
You're just a 

           
ghost of my me

mories
              
And you've bee

             
n haunting me 

     
for years


[Verse 4]

N.C
Where did the kid go?

Was he left somewhere back out on the road?
              
Walking home a

          
nd kicking roc

ks

I'd hang to th

ose monkey bar

s
              
But I've gotta

              
 save for my f

      
irst car

If I could go back now
        
God, I'd sprin

He'll always b
