Lyrics

On the day you were born I remember
I thought it was the greatest December
I grew up such a good little witness
And we didn’t do Christmas but we got your presence that day

I was 10 you were 5
We would fuss and we’d fight
Settle in for the night and then dad would pop corn on the stove
We didn’t know
How quickly time goes
And how it flies right out the window

Then I got older
Then I moved out
Then I kept moving
Then I slowed down
And when I drove further
I’d always drive back
And complain about the day I had
And if got lonely
When I fell down
I’d look for a stranger 
But you were around
And all of your friends 
Were there for me too
I hope you know we’ve got you

17 you were gone
High on somebodies lawn
Like that time that you called cuz the cops had shown up
You were drunk
But not not dumb
And I promised I’d never tell mom
And you watched as I threw most my twenties away
I got anxious I’d give you my problems some day
But you stayed and I tried
I can say I’m alive

Then you got older
Then you moved out
Then you kept moving
You never slowed down
And when you drove farther
You’d always drive back
And laugh about the fun you had
And if you get lonely
When you feel down
Don’t be a stranger 
You know I’m around
And all of your friends 
Will be right there too
I hope you know we’ve got you two

[Bridge]

Now you’re getting married
And we are so proud
And life can be scary
You’ll figure it out 
And when you get older 
I hope you look back
And laugh about the fun you had
And if you get angry
I hope you calm down
Don’t be a stranger 
you know I’m around
And all of your friends 
will be right there too
I hope you know we’ve got you

We were lost in the woods high as frogs on a log
And you told me you snuck drug money to mom
You’re the best man I know
You’re a chaotic good
If you said that you will then I bet that you would
