A Boy Becomes A Man

[Verse 1:] I was only twelve years old The day was warm my heart went cold Momma said your Daddy's gone Son you're gonna have to grow up fast The two of us is all we have I need you to be strong [Chorus:] That's the day a boy became a man Every broken road and stepping stone Has made me who I am I learned to love, I learned to cry Even how to say good-bye And I'm still trying to understand How a boy became a man [Verse 2:] She was only seventeen Prettiest girl I'd ever seen On a blanket underneath the stars By the river we got swept away In just one night my whole life changed Should have never gone that far [Chorus] [Bridge:] On the day we swore our love In front of God and everyone [Chorus]
