Ogden Payne - Baby lyrics

VERSE 1: Okay I came in this thing 1992 Momma looked at me and told me “boy ain't nothing you can't do” So let's put this thing to use, let's put this thing in motion My momma sitting in the bleachers while my daddy coaching Said you got that magic potion, I said I'm okie-doking I said I'm feeling good enough to show boat on the Atlantic Ocean See my momma told me I'm her baby My daddy said the same but get your education I said poppa please be patient, cause I'm trying to make it And I know I can't but one day I'm gonna repay you Oh and I remember when you listened to my first song Man I hadn't felt that good in so long And momma took me to my first session Lord knows she was stressing Looking up to the heaven's like “Dear Jesus, please protect him” I'm my parents' only child so I'm trying to put a smile on their face Ain't nothing better than to hear your momma say “There go my baby!” HOOK: There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And momma saying, “Thank you , Lord” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And momma saying, “Thank you, Jesus” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And my momma saying, “Hallelujah” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby VERSE 2: So many conversations up on that kitchen table So many years, so many tears but oh Lord I'm thankful That we finally made it through, ain't nobody quite like you We just kept on pushing through, and pushing through, and pushing through And you ain't quite know how but Momma always made it work And every Sunday morning woke me up and took me straight to church And Daddy I just want to thank you for never giving up You kept your head held high, even when the times w Ere rough And so I just really want to thank you For them a** whoopings and spankings And showing me the other side of life when I should've been a little bit more grateful Because now, you're looking at boys who've been men from the jump Cause Momma ain't raise no fool, and Daddy ain't raise no punk So watch me work, hustle like crazy My momma told me “You gonna be somebody, baby” So excuse my momma, I know she's loud But it's just because I made that woman proud Running ‘round, that's my baby HOOK: There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And momma saying, “Thank you , Lord” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And momma saying, “Thank you, Jesus” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And my momma saying, “Hallelujah” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby VERSE 3: My momma told me, “Boy you so smart” My daddy told me, “Always finish what you start” My momma told me, “Boy you so handsome” My daddy told me, “Always keep your business handled” And I remember that broke down Mercedes It's a blessing that we made it And that you still love me even when I'm talking crazy It don't matter if we had money or we didn't Because we family and it doesn't make a difference Holler at me HOOK: There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And momma saying, “Thank you , Lord” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And momma saying, “Thank you, Jesus” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby And my momma saying, “Hallelujah” There go my baby There go my baby There go my baby
