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
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
