"Flame" lyrics
(My flame, my flame, my flame)
(I know, oh)
Heart fell outta my chest when I met you
Forty-eight hours mama worked to send you
Into this world, baby girl, how did get you?
And I can't believe my eyes, no, no
Couple years pass and I ain't been the same since
Mama pregnant again, but this time it's twins
When they came, boy, I was scared shitless
And I can't believe my eyes, no
Now my house a mess and my records knocked down
Buncha food on floor stuck to my socks now
And I got no time for these golf clubs now
But I'd have it no other way
Some things you just can't be ready for
You're what I hold steady for
Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah)
Some things you just can't be ready for
You'll be what I been waiting for
For the rest of my life (I know one thing's for sure)
And we gon' get older
And things gonna change
But you're still my flame
You're still my flame
You're still my flame
You're still my flame
Fast forward fourteen years
Catch 'em skipping class, smoking weed in the basement
Doing things I did, I guess that I can't get too mad
Thinking 'bout the way I woulda acted as a new dad
Tying up your shoes, now I'm driving you to school grad
Couple years pass and Daddy give you first dance
Tears down my face, I don't ever wanna lose that
'Cause you're the greatest thing that I did in this world, mm
Some things you just can't be ready for
You're what I hold steady for
Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah)
Some things you just can't be ready for
You'll be what I been waiting for
For the rest of my life (I know one thing's for sure)
And we gon' get older
And things gonna change
But you're still my flame
You're still my flame
You're still my flame
You're still my flame
Now we getting to the last page
Story of my life, I wish we were only half way
Try to muster up the words, but all that I can say
Is you the greatest thing that I did in this world, mm
Surrounded by you and my grandkids
Me and Mama couldn't write it better if we planned it
Only thing I wonder is how did time vanish? Yeah
I don't wanna say goodbye, no
Some things you just can't be ready for
You're what I hold steady for
Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah)
Some things you just can't be ready for
You'll be what I been waiting for
For the rest of my life (I know one thing's for sure)
And we gon' get older
And things gonna change
But you're still my flame
You're still my flame
You're still my flame
You're still my flame
(I know, oh)
Heart fell outta my chest when I met you
Forty-eight hours mama worked to send you
Into this world, baby girl, how did get you?
And I can't believe my eyes, no, no
Couple years pass and I ain't been the same since

When they came, boy, I was scared shitless
And I can't believe my eyes, no

And I got no time for these golf clubs now
