about

I think this song goes without saying. Lost my shit in the middle. This is the first and only guitar solo that I'll ever play. Every note was how I was feeling, dealing with the sadness of him being on this earth without me. "One day your Daddy's gotta go..." I love this boy more that oxygen.

lyrics

Proudest day of my life
February 4th, 1999
Born with the damn cutest grin
"You got my eyes and you got your Momma's chin"
I will tell you with my last breath
Cuz I ain't got very much left
But there's one final thing that I want you to hear
And I'll sing it at the top of my lungs so it's clear...

I love you, son.
I will back you forever
Through the good and the bad
You're the best goddamn friend
This 'ol boy ever had
I love you, son.

I knew ya had "it"
When you were barely 4
When I handed you the mic
At a Second Comin' show
The years have flown by
I watch how you change
Now you're a man
With whiskers on your face
So I'll tell you with my last breath
Cuz I ain't got very much left
If there's one final message to pass on to you,
And I savor each word so you know that their true...

I love you, son.
Can you hear the emotion engrained in my voice?
This Father's love will never die for this boy
I love you, son.

Life ain't always so kind
But if you use mine as your guide,
You're in for a hell of a ride!
One day your Daddy's gotta go
But in the meantime I need you to know:

"YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BOY."
"YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BOY."
"YOU'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DADDY'S BABY BOY."

I love you, son.
