Child in Me

I was born a daughter of a southern belle My old man spent his life in the county jail
We played in the woods outside my farm I became a woman inside that barn
Taught respect and learned to love I held my faith in the Lord above
I spoke my mind and I held my own But it seems those days are forever gone

Times are changing and so are we But I can't let go of the child in me
Our bodies keep on growing It's hard to believe
The adult in you loves the child in me
I swam in the pond behind our shed I did everything that my mother said

Flirted with the boys in Sunday school I was the queen in a world of fools
Learned to love in the back of my Jeep When I play, man, I play for keeps
I was too young to grow up that fast Wanted everything and wanted it to last
Times are changing and so are we But I can't let go of the child in me

Our bodies keep on growing It's hard to believe
The adult in you loves the child in me
I was just 17 when I said I'd do Graduate at school while pregnant with you
Trust in love to keep up your guard Nothing comes easy, everything in life is hard

I work in the mornings, I'm a wife at night 24 hours a day, I'm a mother for life
I'm too old to be as crazy as I used to be And I thank God that he allowed you to see
Times are changing and so are we But I can't let go of the child in me
Our bodies keep on growing It's hard to believe

The adult in you loves the child in me
