I remember the day you appeared on this earth With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt From my camera angle it looked like it hurt But your momma had a big old smile
We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin Packed a few things and drove you back again Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering What was gonna make it better
Broken bones heal if you set them right Get your fine-toothed comb from the barber’s side Our love’s a protective poison But you are your mother’s child And she’ll keep you for a while But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
Halloween costume, looking real cute With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot Better watch your Snickers bar
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat Taking a swing and hearing it crack Look at that apple fly
Well tears will dry if you give them time Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside Fear, that’s a big emotion But you are your mother’s child And she’ll keep you for a while But soon you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
Posing for pictures, cap and gown Summer is coming, you’re driving round town Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now I know you’re gonna make a splash
Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised She’s the only thing that matters
Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt That you’re gonna do this better ‘Cause you are your mother’s child And she had you for a while But now that you’re grown, you’re making it on your own Now that you’re grown may you never feel this alone.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
