To Mom and Dad

Everyday I miss you guys more and more
I always recall all things we did before
I left you and became a man

I said I wanted to go far and get out of Dallas
I didn't want to cause any discord or malice
I just wanted to grow and become that man

I've taken steps in adulthood 
leaps in responsibility
I use your lessons that could
defeat all hostility
You've helped me get where i am

Mom and Dad I know it was a scary last day
you didn't want to cry you had to go away
and leave me alone in a world full of mystery

Mom and Dad You know that I'm prepared for this
There will always be bumps but I can't miss
this chance to change my history

I've taken steps in adulthood
leaps in responsibility
I use your lesson that could
defeat all hostility
You've helped me get where I am

And I try to be a mirror of you guys
but I still have to be myself not a disguise
And I try to be the perfect son
but there was only one who was that
just know that I'm always trying

I've taken steps in adulthood
leaps in responsibility
I use your lesson that could
defeat all hostility
You've helped me get where i am today
