[Intro]

[Verse 1]
DDo you remember, jody baxter
DWhen the whippoorwill sings
How you stoGle across the pasture
To the litDtle hidden spriAng?
Where you laDid down by the water
On a bGed of spanish moss
And dDreamed
When the wDind was on the prairie
And the fiDre was in the stove
With the woGod you had to carry
From the corDner of the groAve
And your daDddy let you disappear
With all yoGur fishing gear
Into the coDve
[Chorus]
And it was goBmod, goDod, gooAd
But now it's goBmne, gone, goGne
And there's a litBmtle boy
Who's loAst out in the woGods
Always looking for the faDwn
[Verse 2]
I remDember, jody baxter
When I hDid out in the corn
How the cloGuds were moving faster
With the comDing of the storAm
And I knDew that I had broken
Something GI could not repair
And I mouDrned
Because the fieDld was green as eden
Then it witheF#mred into brown
In the midGdle of my grieving
They caDme and cut it dAown
And I was suDre that it was all my fault
GThe day they mowed the garden
To the grDound
[Chorus]
And what was Bmgood, Dgood, gAood
Was gBmone, gone, gGone
And there's a litBmtle boy
Who's loAst out in the woGods
Always looking for the faDwn
[Bridge]
So come baGck to me
Please, come baDck to me
Is there anBmy way that wDe can
ChAange the ending of this tragGedy?
Or does it haDve toA be this wDay?

[Verse 3]
I cDan see you, jody baxter
Now you're brF#moken by the years
As you lGie down in the aster
And lisDten for the deer
And I'm a milliDon miles away
But I still prGay the fawn can find me
HeDre
[Chorus]
'Cause it wasBm good,D good, Agood
But now it's goBmne G
And there's a litBmtle boy
Who's loAst out in the woGods
Always looking for the faDwn
Yes I'm a little bBmoy
Who's lost out iDn the woGods
Always looking for the faDwn
