The Baby lyrics by Blake Shelton
My brother said that Iwas 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 twenty one
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 eithty,
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
as 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 sleeping
and my family had
been weeping
by the time that I got to her side
And I knew that
she'd been taken
and my heart, it was breaking
I never got to say goodbye
I softly kissed that lady
and cried just like a baby
