Hey buddy I couldn't sleep
And I know your mom would kill me
If I reached across this bed and turned that TV on
So I snuck to that upstairs room
That we painted carolina blue
Sat down in a rocking chair and stared at your name on the wall
And it just hit me all at once
In a couple of months

I'm gonna get to hold your hand
You're gonna make this ole boy your old man
I feel ready but I feel scared to death
All I know is I love you
And I ain't even met you yet

I wonder what your first words will be
I wonder if you'll look like me
I wonder what the dogs will think the day we bring you home

I'm gonna buy you your first glove
You're gonna earn that first truck
I feel ready but I feel scared to death
All I know is I love you
And I ain't even met you yet

Yeah I'm always gonna love you sometimes you'll wanna hate me
And just between us two sometimes momma's crazy
But we're just learning as we go
Yeah somewhere down that road

I'm gonna hand you your first beer
And I'm gonna cry when you pack up and leave here
I feel ready but I feel scared to death
Gonna say a little prayer, kiss your momma and go to bed
It's crazy how much I love you
And I ain't even met you yet
I ain't even met you yet
