Thanks Again Songtext

von Ricky Skaggs

I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day,
For Father's Day a shirt and card
And while they came from the heart they all fell short
Of saying how special you both are.
It wasn't til I was up and gone married
With a couple of kids of my own
Doing what mamas and daddies do
That I realized what I must have puts you through

So thanks again for the love in the cradle and all of the
Changes that kept me dry.
And thanks again for the love at our table
And tannin' my bottom when I told you a lie,
for takin' me fishin'
And flyin' my kites, and tuckin' me in yes night after night.
To my beautiful life long friends hey,
Mom and Daddy thanks again.

I'm still a young man, least I think I am,
but I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray.
And your call last Sunday brought to mind
That I owe you a debt I can never repay.
So thanks again for worrin' and waitin'
When I started datin' on week-end nights.
And thanks again for the help with my home work
And sittin' up with me till I got it right,
Your car for the prom, your letters in I am
But most of all Daddy for marryin' Mom
To my beautiful life long friends, hey Mom and Daddy
thanks again.
