Firstborn Journey

Oh, my boy...

You came into this world,

I was just a kid myself

Trying to find my way

with no manual on the shelf

We had to learn to walk

while the wind was blowing cold

Growing up together as the stormy years unfolded

And you’re thirty years down the line tonight

Still my first baby in the morning light

Through every rough road and the tears we cried

I grew up with you right by my side

(oh, my boy) There were nights we didn't know

how we'd pay the rent

Every ounce of strength we had was

fully spent

But you looked at me

with those trusting eyes

And made me a better man

under those heavy skies

They say a father guides his son But you’re the one who

showed me how it’s done

We weathered the storm,

we broke the mold

And you’re thirty years down the line tonight

Still my first baby in the morning light Through every rough road

and the tears we cried

I grew up with you right by my side

(yes I did) Thirty years gone...

But you're still my baby boy.
