So Just Be You lyrics

[Intro – Soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm and intimate] [Verse 1 – Deep, raspy male voice, quiet storytelling] We were running on no sleep, waiting on your first cry, Taking little Polaroids just to pass the time. I thought the room would be chaos, nurses running everywhere, But it was quieter than I pictured, just your mama and me there. We’d prayed that you’d get here safe, and when they placed you in my hands, I looked down at you thinking, Lord, I can’t believe I have a son. You were counting on your mama and me for everything you’d need, And I prayed I’d raise a good man, starting with the man you’d see. [Pre-Chorus – Gentle lift] I thought I’d have the answers when I finally held you tight, But all I knew was I’d spend forever trying to get it right. [Chorus – Emotional, soulful, acoustic guitar opens up] So just be you, Weston, whatever that may be, You don’t owe this world a thing but the best of who you’ll be. Be the funny one, the quiet one, the one who stands apart, Just don’t let somebody else’s voice drown out your own heart. And when the road gets heavy, when you don’t know what to do, You can always call your old man, I’ll come running back to you. You don’t have to make me proud, son, there’s nothing left to prove, I loved you long before you knew what love could do. [Verse 2 – Warm, nostalgic, relaxed country storytelling] Now every morning we lean in and say, “Good morning, Weston,” And you light up with a smile like you’ve been waiting for that question. You grab a fistful of my hair and try to eat it with a grin, Then you do the same to Mama, and we start laughing again. We take our little walks, watch the daylight turn to gold, And you sit out in the backyard while I hit a few golf balls. You don’t know a thing about the game, but I swear one day you might, Be standing there beside me, chasing one into the sky. [Pre-Chorus – Tender, reflective] And I can’t wait to watch you grow, though I wish these days would stay, Funny how you want tomorrow and want to hold on to today. [Chorus – Full, heartfelt vocals] So just be you, Weston, whatever that may be, You don’t owe this world a thing but the best of who you’ll be. Be the funny one, the quiet one, the one who stands apart, Just don’t let somebody else’s voice drown out your own heart. And when the road gets heavy, when you don’t know what to do, You can always call your
