Boy, you gonna know it all

You'll think you're ten feet tall

And run like you're bulletproof

And total a car or two

Boy, you gonna hate this town

I wish you could burn it down

That fire in your eyes is twenty counties wide

But boy, you gonna love seventeen

And boy, you'll do some stupid things



You gonna drive and kiss and throw a punch

And grow up way too fast

You gonna drop the ball, hit the wall

And break some hearts like glass

I know you will

'Cause you're a part of me

And a part of you

Will always be a...



Boy, you gonna be so stubborn

You get that from your mother

I already see it now, you weren't built for backing down

And boy, there'll be a small town night

And you'll fall for her sky-blue eyes

And when she's in your hands

You'll think you're a man and not a boy

She'll make you lose your mind, boy

She'll be every reason why



You gonna drive and kiss and throw a punch

And grow up way too fast

You gonna drop the ball, hit the wall

And break some hearts like glass

I know you will

'Cause you're a part of me

And a part of you

Will always be my boy



It's 3 AM and I'd do anything to get you back to sleep

And that face will be the same one in the rearview

The day I watch you leave



But boy, you gonna come back home

You gonna settle down

But you won't feel the way I'm feelin' now

Until you have a boy

He's gonna know it all

He'll think he's ten feet tall

And run like he's bulletproof

And total a car or two
