bye mom - chris janson lyrics
[verse 1]
bye, mom
that’s what i said at five years old, the first day of school
already then, i thought i was way too cool
i thought i had it figured out
and i didn’t know a thing
bye, mom
don’t worry about me, i’ll see you at three at the bus stop
and i know that you’ll be right there to pick me up
in the old truck
[chorus]
and oh, that’s just the way it is
when you think you’re grown, but you’re still a kid
and you don’t know you’re somebody
that somebody loves more than themselves
and there’s a beauty in the innocence
of not knowin’ that the time they spent
is more than one could ask for
and that’s a special kind of love
and it’s only there for a lifetime, then it’s gone
and it’s bye, mom
[verse 2]
you can drop me off down the block around the corner square
all my buddies are waitin’ for me just over there
i’ll see you later on
bye, mom
it’s a cap and a gown and a brand new town eight hours away
don’t cry, i’ll be okay
[chorus]
and oh, that’s just the way it is
when you think you’re grown, but you’re still a kid
and you don’t know you’re somebody
that somebody loves more than themselves
and there’s a beauty in the innocence
of not knowin’ that the time they spent
is more than one could ask for
and that’s a special kind of love
and it’s only there for a lifetime, then it’s gone
and it’s bye, mom
[bridge]
and by mom, i sang a million mornings
at the brine street baptist church
and by mom, i waited hours and hours ’til she got off of work
and by mom, i stood and cried and laid a rose onto a grave
and “bye, mom” were the last words that i spoke
before we sang “amazing grace”
[chorus]
and oh, that’s just the way it is
when you’re all grown up, but you’re still a kid
and you realize you’re somebody
that somebody loves more than themselves
and there’s a beauty in the innocence
of not knowin’ that the time they spent
is more than one could ask for
and that’s a special kind of love
and it’s only there for a lifetime, then it’s gone
yeah, it’s only there for a lifetime, then it’s gone
and it’s bye, mom
yeah, bye, mom
