One night I fell in love with a little girl
And I gave her my whole world
I knew right then that I never give it back
And I wonder how I fell for that
Five months latter with tears in both her eyes
She handed me those two pink lines
The only test in my whole life I didn’t fail
I told her we’d be fine but I was scared as hell
Whow my love I hope it doesn’t show
But I’m scared to death of drowning in these things that I don’t know
Whow my love I hope you understand
Truth is I’m a boy trying to be a man
I got a hand me down gold ring to make it right
and I could fell you kick when the judge said kiss the bride
But your ma and me we walked out hand in hand
Soon three against the world we’ll make a stand
But on the day that you were born she got called home
It’s the darkest thing my heart has ever known
Doctor said I’m sorry and handed you to me
I looked in your blue eyes and couldn’t even speak
Whow my son I hope it doesn’t show
But I’m scared to death of drowning in these things that I don’t know
Whow my son I hope you understand
Truth is I’m a boy trying to be a man
Your daddy’s just a boy trying to be a man
