God Bless The Boy (Cori's Song)

(album: Human: The Double Album - 2021)

She won't let me help her tie her shoes
"No, daddy, I can do it myself"
When she don't get her way
She'll cross her arms and hold her breath
She's a handful, she's a mess
Digging in the dirt in her princess dress
Goes from tiny tornado
To sleeping on my chest

God bless the boy that melts the way I do
When she smiles at him the first time
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
Give him patience and kindness
And a heart that's full of her
And the sense to know just what she's worth
'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough
So God bless the boy she decides to love

I hope his daddy's teaching him
How to shake my hand and look me in the eye
And taking him fishing and busting his butt
When he ain't acting right
I hope he's in every prayer his momma prays
And learns to work for every dollar he gets
And has a sense of humor
Gonna need it for a girl like this

God bless the boy that melts the way I do
When she smiles at him the first time
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
Give him patience and kindness
And a heart that's full of her
And the sense to know just what she's worth
'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough
So God bless the boy she decides to love

God bless the boy that melts the way I do
When she smiles at him the first time
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
There ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough
So God bless the boy she decides to love
Oh, God bless the boy she decides to love
