tall and proud

Will you miss these four walls? Sure as hell they'll miss you And what about your niece back home? Are you worried she won't recognize you? Well, here is what you don't know You're everything good in this town More than just a face and bones And I wish you would stick around but I know it and your mama knows it That when you're growing, you can't be stopped Like a tree planted a hundred years ago You'll grow so tall and proud The way I feel right now Like a book you can't put down You left your thumbprint on my soul You think you're just the guy who plays guitar But you are that and so much more I know it and everybody knows it But when you're growing, you can't be stopped Like a tree planted a hundred years ago You'll grow so tall and proud The way we feel right now And I hope when you drive away Something convinces you to stay But even if you don't Hope you always know the place Where you can come back and be safe Here in these four walls I know it and your sister knows it That when you're growing, you can't be stopped Like a tree planted a hundred years ago You'll grow so tall and proud The way we feel right now The way we feel so proud You'll grow up tall and proud
