It seems like it was only yesterday
And soon you'll be going on your own way
And aint it funny how the time can pass us by
Oh how I sacrificed for you

And it's amazing how fast my baby's grown
And raising a child takes it toll when your all alone
And watching you play outside in the front yard
It made me try so hard for you

Son you got to keep on keeping on
The time will come when I'll be dead and gone
So Always hold your head up high
Never let them see you cry and try
To make yourself a better man
You stand up for what you believe in
Someday soon son I'll be leaving
Until then I'll be here when you come home

I'll take the blame for all your pain
I was young and dumb and caught up in the games
But you taught me responsibility
It wasn't always easy for me
