Thanks Deakon...

Partial lyrics to "Tough Little Boys" by Gary Allan

Scared me to death
When you took your first steps
And I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town

Well I didn't cry, when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again

Well I'm a grown man
But as strong as I am
Sometimes its hard to believe
How one little girl, with little blonde curls
Could totally terrify me

If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh
She'd say "I know all about men
How tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again"

Well I know one day, I'll give you away
But I'm gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home, and I'm all alone
Well, I'll sit in your room for a while

Well I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again

While driving home from Canmore, I teared up singing this song (come on, I'm pregnant, gimme a break) and Deakon asked me what it was about. I told him it was about kids growing up and their parents being sad because it goes really fast and one day they move out and have their own families.

D: Well, kids can come back and visit their parents.

Me: Ya, they can. Will you come back and visit me?

D: Sure.

Me: Promise?

D: Ya. Well mom, I might live in Calgary.

Me: Ok

D: It is kind of a far drive

Me: Not really that far (20-30 minutes)

D: Well, if I live in Cochrane (where we live now) I promise to come and visit you all the time. Is that ok?

Me: Sure buddy.

I will take what I can get
