The Boy - Alabama

He stays up at night till way after dark

Feeding the dog that lives in our yard

He’ll put on my shoes and stumble around

But together we can catch any outlaw in town

The boy tries to be just like me

I’m all that he tries to be

Watching cartoons on my knee

Mamma’s little man and me

He wants to know how this and that goes

He’ll play all day on a mountain of clay

And he’ll fight with me to show that he’s strong

But if he gets hurt it’s mamma he wants

Some day I know he’ll leave us alone

Break mamma’s heart, I’ll try to be strong

But if I shed a tear I hope he won’t see

The big man is him and the boy is me

Let’s go mamma
