Twelve years old I come home from school
With a backpack full of adolescent blues
Hear my name hear mama say it's true
They've been waiting for you
In the
Backyard ice and hockey skates
First snowfall and rosy cheeks
Round and round and round in figure eights
Then world slows down
Nothing else matters now
Thank God for my mother
Thank God for my father
For giving this older sister
Younger brothers
Even when I'm mad it never lasts
Somebody's like, don't you smile
Cnd I just crack
Dancing round the kitchen in cowboy hats
Someday we'll look back
Cnd we'll just laugh
Thank God for my mother
Thank God for my father
For giving this older sister
Younger brothers
Ooh
Cnd when I'm old and grey
I'll look back and say
Thank God for my mother
Thank God for my father
For giving this older sister
Younger brothers
