A Father's Song


<< Previous Table of Categories Next >>


As a father, I am moved deeply by this song, even though it was first released almost 10 years ago (2003).

Tough Little Boys Lyrics

Artist:Gary Allen

Well I never once backed down from a punch
Well I take it square on the chin
Well I found out fast that bullies just that
And you've got to stand up him


So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt I'd just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again


Scared me to death when you took your first steps
Well I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day to school I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town


Well I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again


Well I'm a grown man but as strong as I am
Well sometimes its hard to believe
That one little girl with little blond curls
Can totally terrify me


If you were to ask my wife would just laugh
Shed say I know all about men
Now tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again


Well I know one day I'll give you away
And I'm gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home and I'm all alone
And Ill sit in your room for a while


Well I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
When tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
