By the time I made it home you were already in bed. Chubby cheek pressed to your pillow by a bedtime book youd read. And I noticed that you looked older than you did yesterday. Youve been growin up while I was away. You made a pile of leaves in the front yard I guess its already fall. By the look of those pictures your momma took the two of you had a ball. And it made me glad but a little sad to see those games you play I missed a lot of smiles while I was away. And for every dollar I earn theres a lesson you learn without me there. And every day Im on the go Im prayin that you know your daddy cared. Cause the hardest part about workin hard aint the bills I gotta pay. Its you growin up while I was away. And I found your note in the kitchen, its a real work of art. A stickman holding your stick hand with Daddy written in a heart. And it got me good cause I understood just what you meant to say. Youve been missin me too while I was away. And for every dollar I earn theres a lesson you learn without me there. And every day Im on the go Im prayin that you know your daddy cared. Cause the hardest part about workin hard aint the bills I gotta pay, its you growin up while I was away. You know the hardest part about workin hard aint the bills I gotta pay.... Its everything I missed while I was away!
