One And Only Son

Only son out of all four kids

Raised hell more than the others did

But my daddy tried to bail me out every time

Can't say that I deserved it for the pain I put him in

But a lesson was learned when I seemed to cry

He put a hand on my shoulder

And he sighed

And he said

I'm sure damn proud of you, kid

All you've done that I never did

I'm glad to see you're the man that you've become

Ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

You got your mother and your head but I love you both

You're the one and only one

And I'm sure damn proud to call you

The one and only son

He loves us high and he loves us fast

Wouldn't say what it meant

Every single time that I went with him

Shortcut shoot a whitetail down

Put an eastern in the ground

He talked about patience and waiting around

And every hill and wall he sure is proud

And the stories that we have sure make him smile

And he said

I'm sure damn proud of you, kid

All you've done that I never did

I'm glad to see you're the man that you've become

Ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

You got your mother and your head but I love you both

You're the one and only one

And I'm sure damn proud to call you

The one and only son

He worked his ass off for us, yes

I had to work 12-hour shifts as well

So he used the cattle to turn the ground

Short Tommy had to sort them head

Had a hay and had a fence

I don't know where I'd be without him now

We were a team when the day did come down

He said, "I'm sure damn proud of you, kid"

All of the mistakes you did, I'm glad you're home

And I wish you'd stick around

Hey, how you had to leave all this

But it is what it is, you're growing up

And you're sure making me proud

'Cause you're the one and only boy

The one and only one

And it meant the most when he said

I sure love you, son
