Lyrics
My brother said that I was rotten to the core
I was the youngest child, so I got by with more
I guess she was tired by the time I came along
She'd laugh until she cried, I could do no wrong
She would always save me because I was her baby
I worked a factory in Ohio, a shrimp boat in the Bayou
I drove a truck in Birmingham, turned 21 in Cincinnati
I called home to mom and daddy, I said your boy is now a man
She said I don't care if you're 80, you'll always be my baby
She loved that photograph of our whole family
She'd always point us out for all her friends to see
That's Greg he's doing great, he really loves his job
Ronnie with his two kids, how 'bout that wife he's got
And that one's kinda crazy, but that one is my baby
I got a call in Alabama, said come on home to Louisiana
And come as fast as you can fly
'Cause your momma really needs you, and says she's got to see you
She might not make it through the night
The whole way I drove 80, so she could see her baby
She looked like she was sleepin' and my family had been weepin'
By the time that I got to her side
And I knew that she'd been taken and my heart it was breakin'
I never got to say goodbye
I softly kissed that lady and cried just like a baby
