Son

My mom was always running
 Chasing after something
 I heard you couldn't tell her nothing
 When she was 19
 She met my daddy
 And took off in his t-top Chevy
 But it went from hot to heavy
 When they found out about me
 ♪
 Every other weekend
 Was all I got to see him
 Sometimes he'd come get me
 And we'd hit Tellico Creek
 We'd take that boat and drop it
 Grab the rods and reels and hop in
 He'd open up that tackle box
 And he'd open up to me
 And he'd say
 Son I hope you know how much I love you
 And when you're not with me
 I'm always thinking of you
 You're the drive inside my heart
 The reason I reach for the stars above
 He said my world revolves around you
 That's why I call you son
 ♪
 We'd drive back to his small apartment
 It was hot wheels on the worn out carpet
 We'd play games 'til the Braves game started
 And he'd let me stay up late
 Time with him was always flying
 Sunday's never had good timing
 I'd start to pack and end up crying
 And he'd kneel down and say
 Son I hope you know how much I love you
 And when you're not with me
 I'm always thinking of you
 You're the drive inside my heart
 The reason I reach for the stars above
 He said my world revolves around you
 That's why I call you son
 ♪
 I was gonna go live with him
 But I guess God had other plans
 Cause on a two lane road on a Tuesday night
 A drunk driver crossed that centerline
 They said my dad didn't feel a thing
 I wish I could say the same
 Cause losing him, it left me cold
 I was mad at God, couldn't let it go
 ♪
 Then one blue sky morning
 A brown eyed baby boy was born and
 I looked outside and it started pouring
 I swear they were daddy's tears
 My old man, I could almost see him
 In that little face with a new heart beating
 The pain in mine started leaving
 When I whispered in his ear
 Son I hope you know how much I love you
 Now it all makes sense
 This place in life I've come to
 You've filled the hole inside my heart
 You're why I'll reach for the stars above
 My world revolves around you
 That's why I call you son
 ♪
 Yeah, that's why I call you son
