One night I fell in love with a little girl And I gave her my whole world And I knew right then I'd never get it back And I wonder how I fell for that Five months later 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 Oh my love, I hope it doesn't show But I'm scared to death of drowning in these things I don't know Oh my love, I hope you'll understand The truth is I'm a boy who's trying to be a man I got a hand-me-down gold ring to make it right And I could feel you kick when the judge said kiss the bride But your mama and me walked down hand in hand Soon three against the world We'd make a stand But on the day you were born she got called home And 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 To tell you oh my son,I hope it doesn't show But I'm scared to death of drowning in these things I don't know Whoa my son, I hope you'll understand The truth is I'm a boy that's trying to be a man Oh your daddy's just a boy who's trying to be a man
