Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Mama always told me, "You'll reap what you sow,"
But she never warned me it'd feel like growing old.
From diapers and lullabies to slammed doors and sighs,
I blinked -- now they're chasing that big, wild sky.

(Verse 2)
First time I looked in those newborn eyes,
I never imagined that kind of love could rise.
And when the Good Lord saw fit to give me two more,
I found grace in the chaos I couldn't ignore.

(Chorus)
Now they're crashing cars and passing out in bars,
Trading bedtime stories for battle scars.
But no matter how far from home they roam,
They'll always be my babies, always be my own.

(Verse 3)
The first time I heard "daddy" fall off those lips,
I knew my world had forever shifted its grip.
You teach 'em respect, take 'em to church,
Hoping that love will soften the hurt.

(Bridge)
They're spreading their wings, they're finding their way,
I pray every night they'll be stronger each day.
With all that's been lost, all the growing pains,
One thing's still true, that love still remains.

(Chorus)
Now they're crashing cars and passing out in bars,
Learning life's lessons written in the stars.
But no matter how far from home they roam,
They'll always be my babies, always be my own.

(Outro)
And I savor the moment they have kids of their own,
And they learn how it feels to reap what you've sown.
