[00:16.855] |
I remember the day you |
[00:19.355] |
Appeared on this earth |
[00:21.205] |
With eyes like the ocean |
[00:23.308] |
Got blood on my shirt |
[00:25.908] |
From my camera angle |
[00:27.360] |
It looked like it hurt |
[00:29.661] |
But your mama |
[00:30.612] |
Had a big old smile |
[00:34.462] |
We drove you home |
[00:36.163] |
Saw your yellowing skin |
[00:38.363] |
Packed a few things |
[00:40.013] |
And drove you back again |
[00:42.514] |
Stayed up all night |
[00:44.564] |
Worrying wondering |
[00:46.960] |
What was gonna make it better |
[00:51.211] |
Broken bones heal |
[00:52.861] |
When you set them right |
[00:55.011] |
Get your fine tooth comb |
[00:57.013] |
From the barbicide |
[00:59.466] |
Our love's a protective poison |
[01:03.966] |
Well you are your mother's child |
[01:08.418] |
And she'll keep you for a while |
[01:12.071] |
But someday you'll be grown |
[01:15.022] |
And then you'll be on your own |
[01:25.637] |
Halloween costume |
[01:27.437] |
Looking real cute |
[01:29.237] |
With your pillowcase full |
[01:31.138] |
In your astronaut suit |
[01:33.588] |
But your cousin the cowboy |
[01:35.788] |
Is eyeing your loot |
[01:38.483] |
Better watch your Snickers bar |
[01:42.683] |
Out on the diamond |
[01:44.533] |
Now you're up to bat |
[01:46.484] |
Chewing your big league |
[01:48.834] |
Adjusting your hat |
[01:51.134] |
Taking a swing |
[01:52.534] |
And hearing it crack |
[01:55.435] |
Look at that apple fly |
[01:59.735] |
Tears will dry |
[02:01.135] |
If you give them time |
[02:03.185] |
Life's a roller coaster |
[02:05.187] |
Keep your arms inside |
[02:08.087] |
Fear that's a big emotion |
[02:12.287] |
Well you are your mother's child |
[02:16.638] |
And she'll keep you for a while |
[02:20.360] |
But one day you'll be grown |
[02:23.268] |
And then you'll |
[02:23.868] |
Be on your own |
[02:33.830] |
Posing for pictures |
[02:35.633] |
Cap and a gown |
[02:38.185] |
Summer is coming |
[02:40.035] |
You're driving around town |
[02:42.036] |
Everyone's asking |
[02:44.036] |
What you're gonna do now |
[02:46.136] |
I know you're gonna make a splash |
[02:51.089] |
And find you a sweetheart |
[02:53.090] |
To treat you so kind |
[02:55.291] |
Invite her to dinner |
[02:57.092] |
And kiss her goodnight |
[02:59.342] |
What I couldn't teach you |
[03:01.492] |
You will realize |
[03:03.592] |
She's the only thing that matters |
[03:08.344] |
Although he's a bastard |
[03:10.094] |
Make your papa proud |
[03:12.344] |
Your a fine young man |
[03:14.098] |
And I got no doubt |
[03:16.949] |
That you're gonna |
[03:17.949] |
Do this better |
[03:20.800] |
Cause you are your mother's child |
[03:25.869] |
She had you for a while |
[03:30.121] |
But now that you're grown |
[03:31.821] |
May you never be on your own |
[03:39.019] |
Well now that you're grown |
[03:40.819] |
May you never be on your own |
