That baby was your very own
That child was for you to take home
That baby slept through the night
Without a cry
And that baby was a treat for your eyes
That baby learned to hypnotize you
That baby was a little man
Who could take your hand
And I see them on TV
Fighting for the land of the free
Did I shoot you down, I'm sorry
Did I shoot you down?
And I've seen them on TV
Fighting for the land of the free
Did I shoot you down, I'm sorry
Did I shoot you down?
That baby was from the stars
That child was afraid of cars
That baby played in the sand
Catch him if you can
And I see them on TV
Fightin' for the land of the free
Did I shoot you down, I'm sorry
Did I shoot you down?
Oh, mama, mama don't cry
Oh, mama, mama, ma
And I hear the whistle blow
There's no turning back, I know
If I shoot you down, I'm sorry
If I shoot you down
That baby was your very own
That child just wants to come home
