My Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seeing myself in I'm holding on to every moment, God knows I've missed a few The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do [Chorus] He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for his first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy [Verse 2] It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holding hands His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this" I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah [Chorus] He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for his first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy [Bridge] He's Saturday morning cartoons He's "Hey, can I sleep in your room?" He's bigger than the plans I had He's making me a better man [Chorus] He ain't my blood, ain't got my name But if he did, I'd feel the same I wasn't there for his first steps But I ain't missed a ball game yet And that ain't ever gonna change I could never walk away Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy Yeah, he's my, he's my boy
