The Baby lyrics
My brother said that I
was 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,
I 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 doing great,
he really loves his job.
And Ronnie with his 2 kids,
how bout that wife he s got.
And that one s kinda crazy,
but that one is my baby.
I got a call in Alabama,
said come on home to Louisianna
and come as fast as you can fly.
Cause your momma really needs you,
and says she s got to 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 that 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.
