Karaoké Bye Mom Chris Janson

Bye mom

That's what I said at five years old the first day of school

Already then

I thought I was way too cool

I thought I had it figured out

And I didn't know a thing

Bye mom

Don't worry 'bout me

I'll see you at three at the bus stop

And I know that you'll be right there to pick me up in the old truck

I know that's just the way it is when you think you grown but you're still a kid

And you don't know you're somebody that somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence of not knowing that the time they've spent

Is more than one could ask for

And that's a special kind of love

And it's only there for a lifetime then it's gone

And it's bye mom

You can drop me off down the block around the corner square

All my buddies are waitin' for me just over there

I'll see you later on

Bye mom

It's a cap and a gown in a brand new town eight hours away

Don't cry I'll be okay

I know that's just the way it is when you think you grown but you're still a kid

And you don't know you're somebody that somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence of not knowing that the time they've spent

Is more than one could ask for

And that's a special kind of love

And it's only there for a lifetime then it's gone

And it's bye mom

And bye mom

I sang a million mornings at the Brine Street

Baptist Church

And bye mom

I waited hours and hours 'till she got off of work

And bye mom

I stood and cried and laid a rose onto her grave

And bye mom were the last words that I spoke before we sang

Amazing Grace

I know that's just the way it is when you're all grown up but you're still a kid

And you realize you're somebody that somebody loves more than themselves

And there's a beauty in the innocence of not knowing that the time they've spent

Is more than one could ask for

And that's a special kind of love

And it's only there for a lifetime then it's gone

Yeah it's only there for a lifetime then it's gone

And it's bye mom

Yeah bye mom
