This heartfelt ballad is a touching tribute to the bond between a stepfather and his stepson. The lyrics poignantly express the narrator's deep affection and commitment towards a child who isn't biologically his, but whom he loves unconditionally. He acknowledges that while he may not share physical traits or a surname with the boy, it does not diminish their relationship. Although he regrets missing the early stages of the child's life, he ensures to be present for every important moment thereafter. Emphasizing on how becoming a father figure has positively impacted his own character, this song beautifully encapsulates that family ties are not always defined by blood but by love, care, and choice.
My Boy
Lyrics
He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit
He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seein' myself in
I'm holdin' onto every moment, God knows I've missed a few
The day we met, I knew I had some catchin' up to do
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy
It hit me like a train, the first time he called me dad
In a three stick figure crayon picture with all of us holdin' hands
His mama said, "I understand if it's too soon for this"
I didn't let her finish, I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy
He's Saturday morning cartoons
He's, "Hey, can I sleep in your room?"
He's bigger than the plans I had
He's makin' me a better man
He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood, but he's my, he's my boy
Yeah, he's my, he's my boy
