His backpack's way too big for him
He's trying not to trip again
He turns and waves I fake a grin
Trying not to cry
He found his name tag on the wall
They sang a song he stood up tall
He didn't need me much at all
Guess that's goodbye
Off he goes my little man
Taking steps I barely can
It's just a room with little chairs
But it feels like he ain't there
Half my heart walks down that hall
In his Ninja Turtle shirt and all
I'm proud as hell but man it shows
He's growin up off he goes
I drive back home in second gear
I still see his little crayon drawings here
The silence kinda stings my ears
The house feels strange
I used to wish for just one break
Now I'd give anything to take
Five more minutes of his face
Before this change
Off he goes my little man
Taking steps I barely can
It's just a room with little chairs
But it feels like he ain't there
Half my heart walks down that hall
In his Ninja Turtle shirt and all
I'm proud as hell but man it shows
He's growin up off he goes
And I know he'll learn to read and run
Make new friends and count to one hundred
But part of me just wants to run
Back and hold him tight
Off he goes my little man
Taking steps I barely can
It's just a room with little chairs
But it feels like he ain't there
Half my heart walks down that hall
In his Ninja Turtle shirt and all
I'm proud as hell but man it shows
He's growin up off he goes
