Tough Little Boys by Gary Allen.

I heard this song yesterday while driving...

I never once backed down from a punch
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
And I found out fast a bully's just that
And you've got to stand up to him.

So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt, I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again.

Scared me to death when you took your first steps
Well I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town.

Well I didn't cry when 'ole Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again.

Well I'm a grown man, as strong as I am
Well sometimes it's hard to believe
How one little girl with little blonde curls
Can totally terrify me.

If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh
She'd say I know all about men
And how tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again.

I know one day I'll give you away
And I'm going to stand there and smile
Cause when I get home and I'm all alone
Well, I'll sit in your room for awhile.

Well I didn't cry when 'ole Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again.

When tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big babies again.

...yep
