[Verse] I love you son and I'm proud of you I can't be with you anymore Please understand It hurts me more than it does you Your mother knows that [Chorus] We just don't have the time that we deserve But I'll always be with you son [Verse] Sometimes the man of the house doesn't live there Sometimes he's gotta go make money to pay the bills Sometimes he's gotta go away 'Cause mom and dad just can't be together anymore Sometimes he has to go to prison And sometimes he dies But no matter where I am son I'm always with you And one day I'll get to be with you again No matter what your mom tells you No matter what happens I love you [Chorus] We just don't have the time that we deserve But I'll always be with you son [Verse] When you become a man You're supposed to be strong You're supposed to be tough You're supposed to be a provider And you're supposed to ask for nothing in return But it's lonely Being this strong and this tough And not asking for anything in return And we all have these dark places inside of us Where we feel broken and destroyed And we just want to cry But we can't because we have to be strong And one day son You'll know what I mean But I'm not there to teach you how to be a man And that's not fair But that's how it is But you have a good mother She'll teach you the best that she can But she just doesn't know What it's like to be a man But she knows what it takes To be a good person So listen to her I love you son [Chorus] We just don't have the time that we deserve But I'll always be with you son
