Boy

Boy, you're gonna know it all You'll think you're ten feet tall And run like you're bulletproof And total a car or two Boy, you're gonna hate this town Wish you could burn it down That fire in your eyes is 20 counties wide But boy, you're gonna love 17 And boy, you'll do some stupid things

You're gonna drive and kiss And throw a punch and grow up way too fast You're gonna drop the ball Hit the wall and break some hearts like glass I know you well, 'cause you're a part of me And a part of you will always be a boy

You're gonna be so stubborn You get that from your mother I already see it now, you weren't built for backing down And boy, there'll be a small town night And you'll fall for her sky-blue eyes And when she's in your hands You'll think you're a man and not a boy She'll make you lose your mind, boy She'll be every reason why

You're gonna drive and kiss And throw a punch and grow up way too fast You're gonna drop the ball Hit the wall and break some hearts like glass I know you will, 'cause you're a part of me And a part of you will always be my boy

It's 3 a.m. and I'd do anything to get you back to sleep And that face will be the same one in the rearview The day I watch you leave

But boy, you're gonna come back home You're gonna settle down But you won't feel the way I'm feelin' now 'Til you have a boy He's gonna know it all He'll think he's ten feet tall And run like he's bulletproof And total a car or two
