Lyrics
MY LITTLE MAN
VERSE 1
I came home for a visit. Years have come and gone since I left this
sleepy town. My dream was far beyond those city limit signs. Staying there
would only hold me down. Mary told me that she loved me but she could
never leave and she wouldn't stand in my way. She said she'd step aside
while I followed that dream and wouldn't try to make me stay.
VERSE 2
I expected my mom to pick me up at the airport but I saw Mary at the gate.
She had a little tag-along standing by her side. He looked to be about eight.
She told me she never married. She said she's always loved me and I'd
always be the one. Then she said "I have someone I'd really like for you to
meet. This is Billy and he's your son."
CHORUS
God that boy looks just like me. He even walks just like me. She said I
never told cause I thought you were happy. I'm gonna head back out West
pack my things and get back as quickly as I possibly can. Come back home
and settle down. Marry Mary if she'll have me and get to know my little
man. REPEAT CHORUS
I found out home is where my heart is. Here with Mary and my little man.
