[Verse 1]
I'm blessin' you madly baby
Your momma and me just ain't gettin' on
It'll be scary at first
but I'll only be a phone call away
You've got my number  
And give you more details today

[Verse 2]
I've got your picture but I see you all the time
No, please don't cry sweetheart
This is how some things work out
One day you might get to knowin'
Things can't always be perfect
And the world can't be how we might want.

[Verse 3]
I am blessin' this teddy and he knows
like I do that I must go away
The house might seem different
But I'm sure that your momma has plans
Don't be too hard on her
Our love just came to an end

[Verse 4]
I'm leavin' now, the engine's cold and coughin' to life
Got my whole world boxed up in the truck.
Darlin', please don't come stand on the porch in the light,
It's hard enough just havin' this luck.
