My Boy

He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seein' myself in I'm holdin' onto every moment, God knows I've missed a few The day we met, I knew I had some catchin' up to do He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for his first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holdin' hands His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this" I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for his first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy He's Saturday morning cartoons He's, "Hey, can I sleep in your room?" He's bigger than the plans I had He's makin' me a better man He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for his first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy Yeah, he's my, he's my boy
