[00:16.47]I remember the day you appeared on this earth
[00:20.84]With eyes like the ocean
[00:22.69]Got blood on my shirt
[00:24.86]From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
[00:28.71]But your mama had a big old smile
[00:33.45]We drove you home saw your yellowing skin
[00:37.72]Packed a few things and drove you back again
[00:41.75]Stayed up all night worrying wondering
[00:46.07]What was gonna make it better
[00:50.02]Broken bones heal if you set them right
[00:53.76]Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide
[00:58.20]Our love's a protective poison
[01:02.41]But you are your mother's child
[01:06.62]And she'll keep you for a while
[01:10.33]One day you'll be grown
[01:13.02]Then you'll be on your own
[01:23.21]Halloween costume looking real cute
[01:27.12]With your pillowcase full
[01:29.16]In your astronaut suit
[01:31.46]Your cousin the cowboy
[01:33.49]He's eyeing your loot
[01:35.69]Better watch your Snickers bar
[01:39.99]Out on the diamond then you're up to bat
[01:43.94]Chewing your big league
[01:45.88]Adjusting your hat
[01:48.13]Taking a swing and hearing it crack
[01:52.14]Look at that apple fly
[01:56.54]Tears will dry if you give them time
[02:00.31]Life's a roller coaster keep your arms inside
[02:05.00]Fear that's a big emotion
[02:09.18]But you are your mother's child
[02:13.45]And she'll have you for a while
[02:16.95]But someday you'll be grown
[02:19.63]Then you'll be on your own
[02:29.88]Posing for pictures cap and a gown
[02:34.26]Summer is coming you're driving around town
[02:38.38]Everyone's asking what you're gonna do now
[02:42.52]I know you're gonna make a splash
[02:46.90]And find you a sweetheart to treat you so kind
[02:51.14]Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight
[02:55.10]What I couldn't teach you soon you will realize
[02:59.18]She's the only thing that matters
[03:03.32]Although he's a bastard make your papa proud
[03:07.28]Your a fine young man and I got no doubt
[03:11.68]That you're gonna do this better
[03:15.90]Because you are your mother's child
[03:20.02]She had you for a while
[03:24.38]But now you are grown
[03:26.12]And you're making it on your own
[03:32.76]Well now that you're grown
[03:34.49]May you never feel this alone
