Looking from where I stand, it'll be hard to raise a boy
I can show him how to fight, but I won't save him from the world
A child is a blessing, even when you are alone to raise him without a mother on your own
My love, I'll miss you
And I'll tell him all about you
I hope he'll have your eyes
Standing from a distance, my thoughts, far away
On the day when you'll be gone, but I'll have to stay
And it's all that I can think of, since I first laid eyes on you
You'll be gone to be your own cowboy, as I told to
And if it's all it is, than it is all the same
For I also had to go be far away
To see you in my old days
You'll be fine on your own
But stay true to what I called, boy
And I called Buck Lee Jones
So don't go change it, like others do
Trying to hide it all away
And keep the thought of your mother and you old man
Who will always be there for you
Even when you're far away
Riding out into the world to find your own place
