[Verse 1]
F A7
I remember the day you appeared on this earth
A# F
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt

From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
Gm C
But your momma had a big old smile

We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin

Packed a few things and drove you back again

Stayed up all night, worrying, wondering
Gm C
What was gonna make it better

But you are your mother’s child

And she’ll keep you for a while

But one day you’ll be grown, then you’ll be on your own
[Verse 2]
F A7
Halloween costume, looking real cute
A# F
With your pillow case full, in your astronaut suit
A# F
Your cousin, the cowboy, he’s eyeing your loot
Gm C
Better watch your Snickers bar
F A7
Out on the diamond, you’re up to bat
A# F
Chewing your Big League, adjusting your hat
A# F
Taking a swing and hearing it crack
Gm C
Look at that apple fly
[Chorus 2]
Gm C
Well tears will dry if you give them time
F F/E Dm
Life’s a rollercoaster, keep your arms inside

Everyone’s asking what you’re gonna do now

I know you’re gonna make a splash

Find you a sweetheart, to treat you so kind

Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight

What I couldn’t teach you, soon you realised

She’s the only thing that matters
[Chorus 3]

Although he’s a bastard, make your papa proud

You’re a fine young man and I got no doubt

That you’re gonna do this better
A# A#/A A# A#/A Gm
‘Cause you are your mother’s child
F F/E F F/E Dm
And she had you for a while

But now you are grown, you’re making it on your own

Now that you’re grown, may you never feel this alone
