My 1st born, my only son, died July 12th, 2020 - I sang this to him when he was born in 1979, we would rock together each morning and I would say these words to him.....he was a simple man...a true Texas cowboy who loved the land, his family, the cattle, his dog and the Lord...I miss him so much💔

Texas boys grow up to be Texas Men. I lost my dad to 4 different stage 4 cancers. We Texas men and boys are tough, but I wish I had known this song as i do only now. Sometimes we need to hear it's alright to simplify, so we may amplify. I have no doubt your boy knew your love, how rare that's become these days. Not in a Texas countryside, of course, but it's nice this song can pass it on where we texans dare not traverse...condolences.

Least I could do is sacrifice a social life during that time for all she gave to me including life. She introduced me to Lynard Skynyrd, The Eagles, Elvis and so many more long ago. I'm living simple & loving life. For the greatest things are that in which you can give without money. Until we meet again mom.
