i think the lyrics may be wrong... isn't it "Said my boy, its not a toy" instead of "Send my boy, its not a toy"? i dont know for sure but i think it makes more sense...
i think you need to know about the past of the singer, his son was killed by his wife. so this song is talking about how he found out his son died and when remembering about giving him a toy car, the dad realizes the the only rolls royce his son will be driving is a velvet rolls royce (which would be a nice coffin). when he says now a boy becomes a man, its saying how much he grew as a person from that experience. summers lost shows that the son died
