My Boy

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

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

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

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

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

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
