The Boy

Alabama

Album: Roll On

He stays up at night till way after dark

Feeding the dog that lives in our yard

He'll put on my shoes and stumble around

But together we can catch any outlaw in town

The boy tries to be just like me

I'm all that he tries to be

Watching cartoons on my knee

Mamma's little man and me

He wants to know how this and that goes

He'll play all day on a mountain of clay

And he'll fight with me to show that he's strong

But if he gets hurt it's mamma he wants

The boy tries to be just like me

I'm all that he tries to be

Watching cartoons on my knee

Mamma's little man and me

Some day I know he'll leave us alone

Break mamma's heart I'll try to be strong

But if I shed a tear I hope he won't see

The big man is him and the boy is me

The boy tried to be just like me

He's all that I try to be

Now I'm watching cartoons on my knees

And mamma's little man is me

Let's go to bed mamma
