[Intro] Son I still remember When you first held my hand Little boots in the driveway Trying hard to stand [Verse 1] You used to ride up on my shoulders Watching the county fair lights glow Asking questions about the whole wide world Everywhere you wanted to go I watched you fall and get back up Watched you learn to take a stand Tried my best to show you slow Just what it means to be a man [Pre-Chorus] Now the years have rolled Like a long dirt road And I see that look in your eyes [Chorus] You're growing up just like I did Learning how this life goes One day soon you'll fall in love And that's when your heart knows Stand up tough and stand up strong Through the hard times that may come But love your woman with everything Like she's the only one That's the way your mama and I Built this life we're living on Homemade love done the right way Now it's your turn, son [Verse 2] You'll chase dreams down highways You'll make mistakes like I did too But every mile will teach you something About the man inside of you And when you hold your own child someday Feel that little heartbeat run You'll understand the kind of pride That only comes with being someone's dad [Chorus] You're growing up just like I did Learning how this life goes One day soon you'll fall in love And that's when your heart knows Stand up tough and stand up strong Through the hard times that may come But love your woman with everything Like she's the only one That's the way your mama and I Built this life we're living on Homemade love done the right way Now it's your turn, son [Bridge] One day you'll sit on this same porch Watching your own boy run And you'll hear these words again Rolling off your tongue [Final Chorus] Grow up tough and grow up strong But keep a gentle heart Treat the love you find someday Like the world begins with her Build a life that's honest and true Like the one your mama and I spun Homemade love done the right way Now it's your turn, son [Outro] Yeah homemade love Done the right way Now it's your turn, son
