Lyrics
Grow Your Own Way
I've always called you
By the name
I gave you
When you was born
Heard you
Introduce
Yourself yesterday
You don't use it anymore
Little swagger
In your steps
Such a rush
To be a man
Like to hold you
A little longer
But I don't think
That I can
And I know you'll
Grow your own way
But, I always be
Your Dad...
alternate
But, I'll always
Understand...
And, I'll
Keep on callin ya
Keep on callin ya
Keep on callin ya back
Yeah, I know you'll
Grow your own way
You got your own plans
But, if you get lost
I'll keep on callin ya back
I know it's time
To leave the nest
And fly beyond
Where I can see
All I ask you
Son is
Don't forget
About me
Raised you
Right and
Schooled you
Best that I can
Guess it's time
To see if what
I taught you
Is worth a damn
And I know you'll
Grow your own way
But, I always be
Your Dad...
alternate
But, I'll always
Understand...
And, I'll
Keep on callin ya
Keep on callin ya
Keep on callin ya back
Yeah, I know you'll
Grow your own way
You got your own plans
But, if you get lost
I'll keep on callin ya back
ENDING
I knew you'd grow you own way
One day I'll slip through your hands
Do the same for your son...
Keep on callin' him back...
