I look at you and smile and say my baby
And I watch you walk away
You're a big boy now
On a sunny day
May the wind blow your direction
As you fly from town to town
And lift you up
Not throw you down
Southern breezes may circle
But they won't last for long
Not even hurricanes can keep us
From hearing the song
Something in your brown eyes shining baby
The tune has swallowed you whole
You're a big boy now
Fighting heart and soul
Heart and soul
