about

From the album Home At Last but almost half a minute shorter due to a section before the last verse being edited out, and the ending fading out earlier

lyrics

Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife
I’ve never wanted to be no star
And I’m afraid that God is still the only reason
That I pick up my guitar

Oh oh oh [x3]

When you’re awake I try to show you all the love I can give
So you’ll have strength for the fight
‘Cause as you get older life gets harder to live
I love you more than anything else on earth
I think about you all the time
And every night I’m praying that the second birth
Will someday be the first thing on your mind

Oh oh oh [x6]

Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when you’re trying to live the way you should
Sometimes you don’t know right from wrong and white from black
And when you’re trying to love the best you can, baby you don’t hold nothing back

Whoa oh oh whoa woah oh oh whoa woah oh

Well I hope that when you’re older you will understand
Why your life ain’t turning out exactly the way it was planned
'Cause everything keeps changing on this crazy planet
Sometimes I don’t know what I can do, but I’m working hard for our future
So be good to your mother and you’ll make your father happy too

Oh oh oh [x2]
Oh ah ah

Oh oh oh [x3]

Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
Sometimes you try to live the way you should
Don’t know right from wrong, white from black
And when I’m trying to love you the best that I can, baby I don’t hold nothing back

Whoa oh oh
​
Oh oh oh [x2]

Since you came into my life these last three years, I’ve felt a new kind of pain
It really breaks my heart when each tour starts and you’re waving goodbye to the plane
I’d like to live at home for the rest of my life and spend every day playing with you
But that’s not the reason I was put on earth
I gotta make my father happy too

Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh, yes I do
Mmm mm-hmm-mm-hmm-mm, oh oh ho whoa oh ho

Well I hope that somewhere out there it’s all waiting for you
And I hope that when you get there you know what to do
If you fall down get back up, you know I love you so much
And I hope that when you’re out there you will make it through

Oh oh oh [x8]
