Cody Hibbard - Had It Been A Boy (Brinley's Song) Lyrics

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

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"
