Lyrics

VERSE
Your mama and me, we weren’t much of a match back then
Too young, too dumb, to know what to do
We did real good, though, when we made you
Now the last thing I say at night is: “When will I see you again?”

VERSE
Eighteen and sixteen, that’s way ahead of its time
To be having a child when you’re just kids yourself
I couldn’t cope, and now I can’t forgive myself
Your mom was growing up, but I was just drawing lines

CHORUS
(Now) I’ve been looking for you – everywhere, every day
I know I’m gonna find you, somehow, some way
I’ve searched ‘til I’m almost blind
Never thought it would take this much time
But I’m still looking for you every day

VERSE
When you made your debut, we tried to give it a go
But I wanted the music to take me away
So I made a plan where you’d both be okay
A big pot of gold; wish I could say it wasn’t so

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
It was the biggest mistake I’ll ever make
I know I don’t deserve it, but I sure do need a break

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, I’m still looking for you every day
