Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little boys will be boys
Grass stains on their Sunday knees
Stick for a sword in the backyard war
Capes made from mama’s old sheets
Barefoot in those blue jeans
Chasin’ down the firefly beams
Skinned-up shins and muddy grins
Livin’ bigger than their dreams
[Chorus]
Barefoot and blue jeans
Little hearts wide open
Playin’ in the dirt like kings of this old farm
Fishin’ off the dock
Sunburn on their shoulders
Thinkin’ they’re Superman with freckles on their arms
Little boys will be boys
Till they’re somebody’s man someday
But right now
Let ’em play
[Verse 2]
Climbin’ every crooked tree
Seein’ how high they can go
Jump in every puddle on the gravel road
Soaked from head to toe
Watchin’ Dad back up that truck
Tryin’ to walk the way he stands
Rubbin’ grease on their own cheeks
Just to feel big as his hands
[Chorus]
Barefoot and blue jeans
Little hearts wide open
Playin’ in the dirt like kings of this old farm
Fishin’ off the dock
Sunburn on their shoulders
Thinkin’ they’re Superman with freckles on their arms
Little boys will be boys
Till they’re somebody’s man someday
But right now
Let ’em play
[Bridge]
One day they’ll trade capes for car keys
Tree forts for a mortgage and a plan
But somewhere under all that grown-up
There’s a kid still watchin’ Dad
[Chorus]
Barefoot and blue jeans
Little hearts wide open
Playin’ in the dirt like kings of this old farm
Fishin’ off the dock
Sunburn on their shoulders
Thinkin’ they’re Superman with freckles on their arms
Little boys will be boys
And I hope they always stay
A little wild
Let ’em play

Style
country, Warm midtempo country with male vocals, brushed drums, upright bass, and twangy electric over acoustic strums. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and subtle pedal steel swells; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a brighter kick. Light organ pad in the bridge, ending on a held vocal note and soft guitar tag.
