D#m B C# D#m
Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m B C# D#m
Where was my boy tonight again?
D#m B C# D#m
My heart overflows and I love him he knows that.
D#m B C#
Where was my boy back then?
D#m B C# D#m
Did you stay in the city last night?
D#m B C# D#m
Or did you find a good evening flight?
D#m B C# D#m
From all the stupid folks stuck in your life.
D#m B C#
Where was my boy last night?
D#m B C# D#m
Half of what you tell me cannot be true.
D#m B C# D#m
If most of it is, I didn’t follow through.
D#m B C# D#m
See, I promised your mom I’d look out for you.
D#m B C#
Where was my boy hitherto?
[Chorus]

Oh, by the reigns.

D#m B C# D#m
I was nine when you were ten
D#m B C# D#m
You would disappear with Marilyn
D#m B C# D#m
I would call and I call again.
D#m B C#
Where was my boy back then?
D#m B C# D#m
Now, what do I tell your mother, I haven’t seen you in weeks.
D#m B C# D#m
“I get him on the phone and he hardly speaks.”
D#m B C# D#m
He says, “Sweet little Donovan, you’re far too meek.”
D#m B C#
What is this life he seeks?
[Chorus]
B C#
Oh, by the reigns.
B C#
Half of us sane.

Oh, by the reigns. Reign
