You taught me how to swing a bat
And how to throw a ball
How to make a friend, forgive a few
Get up when you fall
Man I thought back then that I knew it all
You taught me how to treat a girl
Put a blade to my face
From heartbreaks, tickets and curfews
To giving God the grace
Lookin back now I wanna say thanks
You've had my back now I've got yours
There's nothin' that I've wanted more
Then to give you everything you gave to me
Endless love as years flew by
Always bein' right by my side
Don't be scared I'll take care of mom and me
Well someday soon I know that you'll be leavin
Man I hope we're even
Life can be unfair at times
Some get called to the other side
Faster than you think they ever would
Man how time has left us here
Sitting in a room full of tears
Surrounded by some friends that love you so
But I want you to know
You've had my back now I've got yours
There's nothin' that I've wanted more
Then to give you everything you gave to me
Endless love as years flew by
Always bein' right by my side
Don't be scared I'll take care of mom and me
Well someday soon I know that you'll be leavin
Man I hope we're even
Thanks for bein who you said you were
And stickin to the truth
When you could easily just go alone
Instead of takin me with you
You've had my back now I've got yours
There's nothin' that I've wanted more
Then to give you everything you gave to me
Endless love as years flew by
Always bein' right by my side
Don't be scared I'll take care of mom and me
Yeah someday soon I know that you'll be leavin
Someday soon I know that you'll be leavin
Man I hope we're even
Man I hope we're even
