There's a set of tiny footprints And a blank space on the paper Where your name aught to be I told him I would tell him later The one and only picture Of your son upon your shoulders Used to sit beside his bed Now there's a little plastic superman instead He don't ask about you anymore He ain't waiting by the telephone Or staring at his door But somewhere inside he hides questions I don't have answers for But he don't ask about you anymore I showed him how to throw a football I taught him how to hit a nail You're teaching him how to run from problems And that life's no fairytale We used to talk about you When I'd tuck him in at night Now he thanks god for all his blessings His friends, his mom, and his bike He don't ask about you anymore He ain't waiting by the telephone Or staring at his door But somewhere inside he hides questions I don't have answers for But he don't ask about you anymore But he'll know how to treat a lady He won't ever leave his baby He's gonna be a hundred times the man I always dreamed you'd be Even if its all on me He don't ask about you anymore He ain't waiting by the telephone Or staring at his door But somewhere inside he hides questions I don't have answers for But he don't ask about you anymore
