The Baby — текст песни (Blake Shelton)

My brothers said that i`m
Rotten to the core
I was the youngest child
So I got by with more
I guess she was tired by
The time I came along
She`d laugh until she cried
I could do no wrong
She would always save me
Because I was her baby

I worked a factory in Ohio
A shrimp boat in the Bayou
I drove a truck in Birmingham
Turned 21 in Cincinnati
Called home to mom and daddy
I said your boy is now a man
She said I don`t care if you`re 80
You`ll always be my baby

She loved that photograph
Of our whole family
She`d always point us out
For all her friends to see
That`s Greg he`s doin` great
He really loves his job
And Ronnie with his two kids
How `bout that wife he`s got
And that one`s kind of crazy
But that one is my baby

I got a call in Alabama
To come home to Louisiana
And come as fast as you can fly
`Cause your mama really needs you
And says she`s gotta see you
She might not make it through the night
The whole way I drove 80
So she could see her baby

She looked like she was sleepin`
And my family had been weepin`
By the time I got to her side
And I knew that she`d been taken
And my heart it was breakin`
I never got to say goodbye


I softly kissed that lady...
And cried just like...a baby
