letra de the youngest child - angel gabriel flores

[verse 1]
there’s five of us, all boys, and a house that’s barely standin’
mama’s hands were cracked from dishes, her heart from all the demandin’
oldest learned how to fight, and the middle ones learned how to hide
and i just tried to make ’em laugh when the thunder rolled outside

[verse 2]
daddy packed his boots and left when i was barely eight
said he’d call on weekends, but then weekends turned to never
i usеd to sit out by the porch, countin’ headlights on the road
thinkin’ еveryone might bring him home

[chorus]
and i was the youngest child, the one they said was wild
the one mama prayed would soften up with time
but i grew up too fast, in the shadow of the past
tryin’ to find a father’s love that wasn’t mine
yeah, i was the youngest child

[verse 3]
christmas came and went with empty chairs and cold reminders
my brothers took to workin’ young, just tryin’ to keep her finer
and i learned songs instead of fights, wrote my pain in borrowed lines
singin’ “lord, don’t let me turn out like that man of mine”

[chorus]
’cause i was the youngest child, the one that had made her smile
the she swore was born with too much heart
but blood gets thin and time runs wild
and men like him don’t stay a while
he builds a brand-new home and calls it a new start
[bridge]
then one day i heard from him, in a letter out of the blue
said he’s got a couple kids now, and they look a bit like you
and i laughed until i cried starin’ at that photograph
guess some stories ain’t meant to come back

[chorus]
i was the youngest child, at least for a little while
the one who kept his mama’s hope alive
but somewhere out beyond that town
he’s got another boy runnin’ around
and i guess i’m not the youngest child after all
