lyrics

Child of Mine
June 2005

When you were just three you varnished the dog
Jumped off the fridge and drew on the wall
You loaded a sandwich in my VCR
And hid your burrito in the back of our car

You wiggled in church with a cute little dance
Till we figured out you were filling your pants
You screamed for a bottle and drank till it hurt
Then emptied your dinner on the back of my shirt

But I’m not worried Child of Mine
I can see you’re gonna shine
Even when I’m gone
Cause boy you’ve got so much to give
It’s everything you need to live on and on and on

No I’m not worried you’ll be fine
Child of Mine

You totaled my truck when you were sixteen
How you stayed alive is hard to explain
You’d wrestle with friends like you’re fighting a war
Come home with a smile and sleep on the floor

But I’m not worried Child of Mine
I can see you’re gonna shine
Even when I’m gone
Cause boy you’ve got so much to give
It’s everything you need to live on and on and on

You’re like a pine tree on a cliff
Hanging out there in the mist
That’s a given and a gift

So I’m not worried Child of Mine
I can see you’re gonna shine
Even when I’m gone
Cause boy you’ve got so much to give
It’s everything you need to live on and on and on

Don't you worry you’ll be fine
Child of MIne
