Had It Been A Boy (Brinley's Song) Songtext
Had it been a boy
My hands might not have been shakin' so bad
Staring at my future through that glass
With no lookin' back
Had it been a boy
I'd known exactly what I's suppose to do
I'd have raised him up to follow in my boots
I'd known all the rules
My hands might not have been shakin' so bad
Staring at my future through that glass
With no lookin' back
Had it been a boy
I'd known exactly what I's suppose to do
I'd have raised him up to follow in my boots
I'd known all the rules
But had it been a boy
I never would have learned how
To take a minute and slow down
Put a flower in a halo braid
Look at everything a different way
I would have never learned to talk sweet
Or live up to what she sees in me
Pink or blue would have been my pride and joy
But I wouldn't be the man I am
Had it been a boy
Had it been a boy
I'd probably still be thinkin' I was tough
And not lookin' at her smilin', tearin' up
But thank God cause
But had it been a boy
I never would have learned how
To take a minute and slow down
Put a flower in a halo braid Look at everything a different way
I would have never learned to talk sweet
Or live up to what she sees in me
Pink or blue would have been my pride and joy
But I wouldn't be the man I am
Had it been a boy
I wouldn't sit here and dread the day
She's walking down the aisle with a rose bouquet
Saying Daddy, it'll be okay
But had it been a boy
I never would have learned how
To take a minute and slow down
Cause she's the reason that I learned to pray
Straighten up and change my ways
I would have never learned to talk sweet
Or live up to what she sees in me
Pink or blue would have been my pride and joy
But I wouldn't be the man I am
Had it been a boy
Yeah, had it been a boy
I never would have learned how
To take a minute and slow down
Put a flower in a halo braid
Look at everything a different way
I would have never learned to talk sweet
Or live up to what she sees in me
Pink or blue would have been my pride and joy
But I wouldn't be the man I am
Had it been a boy
Had it been a boy
I'd probably still be thinkin' I was tough
And not lookin' at her smilin', tearin' up
But thank God cause
But had it been a boy
I never would have learned how
To take a minute and slow down
Put a flower in a halo braid Look at everything a different way
I would have never learned to talk sweet
Or live up to what she sees in me
Pink or blue would have been my pride and joy
But I wouldn't be the man I am
Had it been a boy
I wouldn't sit here and dread the day
She's walking down the aisle with a rose bouquet
Saying Daddy, it'll be okay
But had it been a boy
I never would have learned how
To take a minute and slow down
Cause she's the reason that I learned to pray
Straighten up and change my ways
I would have never learned to talk sweet
Or live up to what she sees in me
Pink or blue would have been my pride and joy
But I wouldn't be the man I am
Had it been a boy
Yeah, had it been a boy
