I'Ll Cry When I Can

Barney backpack, Cowboy Boots, Little tow-head boy. Tasseled hat, Winners robe, Fine young man. Issued backpack, Army boots, Future straight ahead. I'll be okay when you leave, Then cry when I can.

Thanks so much. My son and best friend is leaving soon for basic training and I tried to put into words how I feel about it.
