She said, "I don't care if you're 80, you'll always be my baby"
The whole way I drove 80 so she could see her baby
She'd laugh until she cried, I could do no wrong
And says she's got to see you, she might not make it through the night
I worked a factory in Ohio, a shrimp boat in the Bayou
That's Greg, he's doing great, he really loves his job
I got a call in Alabama, said, "Come on home to Louisiana"
And my heart it was breakin', I never got to say goodbye
I guess she was tired by the time I came along
She'd always point us out for all her friend's to see
I called home to mom and daddy, I said, "Your boy is now a man"
And Ronnie with his two kids, how 'bout that wife he's got
She loved that photograph of our whole family
By the time that I got to her side and I knew that she'd been taken
I drove a truck in Birmingham, turned 21 in Cincinnati
She looked like she was sleepin' and my family had been weepin'
She would always save me because I was her baby
And come as fast as you can fly 'cause your momma really needs you
And that one's kinda crazy, but that one is my baby
