Let me start by saying that I love you
You know that I’d do anything for you
Ever since day one you know you were a wild one
And keeping you in line was hard to do
I did wrong I know I’ve been hard on you
And in return you put me to the test
And our blood is so much thicker than that water
All I ever want for you is the best
And it’s weighing on my mind
I’m praying all the time
Lord just help me see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue
And I know that you’ll take care of me And I’ll take care of you
You’re gonna want to go to California
To search for fame or stake your claim to gold
And that thing you’ll talk about what you’ll call freedom
Back in my day well we called that rock-n-roll
And it’s weighing on my mind
I’m praying all the time
Lord just help her see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue
And I know that you’ll take care of me And I’ll take care of you
And I watch the sun rise in the sky
Another day and another year
And love and dreams and hopes and fears
And I don’t ask why it’s the ties that bind
Life is good but things are never easy
We laugh and cry and live and die alone
You hold on to the one that really matters
You let go of the light when that bird has flown
And it’s weighing on my mind
I’m praying all the time
Lord just help her see this through
There are people in this world
Some are broken some are black and blue, it’s true
And I know that you’ll be strong
You’ll have faith and you’ll know love
You’ll have one of your own brand new
And I know that you’ll take care of her
And I’ll take care of you
