bye mom

Bye, Mom
Thats what I said at five years old, the first day of school
Already then, I thought I was way too cool
I thought I had it figured out
And I didnt know a thing
Bye, Mom
Dont worry about me, Ill see you at three at the bus stop
And I know that youll be right there to pick me up
In the old truck
And oh, thats just the way it is
When you think youre grown, but youre still a kid
And you dont know youre somebody
That somebody loves more than themselves
And theres a beauty in the innocence
Of not knowin that the time they spent
Is more than one could ask for
And thats a special kind of love
And its only there for a lifetime, then its gone
And its bye, Mom
You can drop me off down the block around the corner square
All my buddies are waitin for me just over there
Ill see you later on
Its a cap and a gown and a brand new town eight hours away
Dont cry, Ill be okay
And oh, thats just the way it is
When you think youre grown, but youre still a kid
And you dont know youre somebody
That somebody loves more than themselves
And theres a beauty in the innocence
Of not knowin that the time they spent
Is more than one could ask for
And thats a special kind of love
And its only there for a lifetime, then its gone
And its bye, Mom
And by Mom, I sang a million mornings
At the Brine Street Baptist Church
And by Mom, I waited hours and hours til she got off of work
And by Mom, I stood and cried and laid a rose onto a grave
And 'Bye, Mom' were the last words that I spoke
Before we sang 'Amazing Grace'
And oh, thats just the way it is
When youre all grown up, but youre still a kid
And you realize youre somebody
That somebody loves more than themselves
And theres a beauty in the innocence
Of not knowin that the time they spent
Is more than one could ask for
And thats a special kind of love
And its only there for a lifetime, then its gone
Yeah, its only there for a lifetime, then its gone
And its bye, Mom
Yeah, bye, Mom
