lyrics

Little one, little one
Time to be moving on
Little one, little one
By the time your daddy reads this I'll be gone

Everybody told him son you'll never hold her
Everybody said she's bound to be a bolter
Everybody warned one day you'll turn around and she'll be gone
Everybody Everybody everybody wasn't wrong
And he's gonna find out some folks were made to run

Little One little one
It just might break the man
But he really should have seen it coming
I've given everything I can

Everybody told him son you'll never hold her
Everybody said she's bound to be a bolter
Everybody warned one day you'll turn around and she'll be gone
Everybody Everybody everybody wasn't wrong
And he's gonna find out some folks were made to run

Little one this suffocation
All I ask is to be free
And I give up any claim I have on you
And I forfeit any love you have for me
It'll hurt Little One but that's how it's got to be

One more time Little One
Let me breathe you in
Then it's goodbye Little One
Never see you again

Everybody told him son you'll never hold her
Everybody said she's bound to be a bolter
Everybody warned one day you'll turn around and she'll be gone
Everybody Everybody everybody wasn't wrong
And he's gonna find out some folks were made to run

Everybody told him son you'll never hold her
Everybody said she's bound to be a bolter
Everybody warned one day you'll turn around and she'll be gone
Everybody Everybody everybody wasn't wrong
And he's gonna find out some folks were made to run
