How ya doin'? Hope you're copin' fine without me

Mom says you're taller, you were bound to be

Guess I'm wonderin' how you're copin' in a gritty world like this

It's cold, I know

Wish I could watch you grow just like when we were kids

But you were better off, they moved you south to the sticks

It was rough some nights for me, but knew it was for the best

This city's cold, hope you'll never know

I've learned to know time has no patience

No way of erasin'

In this case, I'm glad you're my peace of mind

But it burns just like the desert

That you're gon' feel the pressure

Conformin' to a man in this life

In a bad place I just see you and remember

Playin' in the park August, September

Now I'm barely home for Christmas in December

And it's cold, so alone

Wish I could watch you grow just like when we were kids

But you were better off, they moved you south to the sticks

It was rough some nights for me, but knew it was for the best

This city's cold, hope you'll never know

I've learned to know time has no patience

No way of erasin'

In this case, I'm glad you're my peace of mind

But it burns just like the desert

That you're gon' feel the pressure

Conformin' to a man in this life

I'm here to say it's okay to cry

But learn how to dry your eyes

Look in a heavy heart, is it nice?

Wish I could stay attached to your side

But I know you'll be just fine

I'll hold you first and always in my mind
