a boy becomes a man

Lyrics

i was only twelve years old, the day was warm my heart went cold, momma said your daddy's gone, son you're gonna have to grow up fast, the two of us is all we have, i need you to be strong, that's the day a boy became a man, every broken road and stepping stone, has made me who i am, i learned to love, i learned to cry, even how to say good-bye, and i'm still trying to understand, how a boy became a man, she was only seventeen, prettiest girl i'd ever seen, on a blanket underneath the stars, by the river we got swept away, in just one night my whole life changed, should have never gone that far, that's the day a boy became a man, every broken road and stepping stone, has made me who i am, i learned to love, i learned to laugh, how to give someone all i have, and i'm still trying to understand, how a boy became a man, on the day we swore our love, in front of god and everyone, that's the day a boy became a man, with an angel walking by my side, and a baby in my hand, i learned to laugh, i learned to cry, to just be thankful for this life, and i think i finally understand, how a boy becomes a man
