"One And Only Son" lyrics

Only son out of all four kids
Raised hell more than the others did
But my daddy tried to bail me out every time
Can't say that I deserved it for the pain I put him in
But a lesson was learned when I seemed to cry

He put a hand on my shoulder
And he sighed
And he said

I'm sure damn proud of you, kid
All you've done that I never did
I'm glad to see you're the man that you've become
Ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
You got your mother and your head but I love you both
You're the one and only one
And I'm sure damn proud to call you
The one and only son

He loves us high and he loves us fast
Wouldn't say what it meant
Every single time that I went with him
Shortcut shoot a whitetail down
Put an eastern in the ground
He talked about patience and waiting around

And every hill and wall he sure is proud
And the stories that we have sure make him smile
And he said

I'm sure damn proud of you, kid
All you've done that I never did
I'm glad to see you're the man that you've become
Ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
You got your mother and your head but I love you both
You're the one and only one
And I'm sure damn proud to call you
The one and only son

He worked his ass off for us, yes
I had to work 12-hour shifts as well
So he used the cattle to turn the ground
Short Tommy had to sort them head
Had a hay and had a fence
I don't know where I'd be without him now

We were a team when the day did come down
He said, "I'm sure damn proud of you, kid
All of the mistakes you did, I'm glad you're home
And I wish you'd stick around

Hey, how you had to leave all this
But it is what it is, you're growing up
And you're sure making me proud
'Cause you're the one and only boy
The one and only one
And it meant the most when he said
I sure love you, son
