I'd Do It All Again

In that twin bed, my son is sleepin

In the bunk across from me

Back home in Owensboro, his mama's

Praying and waiting, patiently

And we miss each other, but we're makin' it work

When it comes to our son, you know it's all about him first

I never would've thought

I'd be movin' to live

In a college dorm

At my age, walkin' these hills

But when you love your kids

The way that we do

You'll move anywhere

You'll move mountains too

But for him, my son, my friend

I'd do it all again

He wanted to go off to Western

And live the college life

Be a Hilltopper and learn to keep climbin

And never stop in life

But he needs a little help

So we had to think it through

And thought it'd be best

If I just moved there too

I never would've thought

I'd be movin' to live

In a college dorm

At my age, walkin' these hills

But when you love your kids

The way that we do

You'll move anywhere

You'll move mountains too

But for him, my son, my friend

I'd do it all again

Sometimes I wish for a good old friend

To sit and talk with now and then

But it's not about me, it's about him

I smile and get to know them, but I don't really belong

They're all just starting out where my road's already gone

So I lean on the Lord to get me through

And follow His lead in what I do

He laid Himself down to show us how to live

So I'll do the same, for my son to fit in

These halls are full of laughter and freedom

Like the life I want him to see

I'm just here to lift him higher

To help him reach his dream

I never would've thought

I'd be movin' to live

In a college dorm

At my age, walkin' these hills

But when you love your kids
