Welcome to Earth (Pollywog) - Sturgill Simpson

Hello, my son

Welcome to Earth

You may not be my last

But you’ll always be my first

Wish I’d done this ten years ago

But how could I know

How could I know

That the answer was so easy?

I’ve been told you measure a man by how much he loves

When I hold you I treasure each moment I spend

On this Earth, under Heaven above

Grandfather always said God’s a fisherman

And now I know the reason why

And if sometimes (Now, now)

Daddy has to go away (Daddy has to go away)

Well, please don’t think (Please don’t think)

That it means I don’t love you

Oh, how I wish (How I wish)

I could be there every day (Be there every day, yeah)

'Cause when I’m gone

It makes me so sad and blue (Makes me sad and blue)

And holding you is the greatest love I’ve ever known

Oh, when I get home it breaks my heart

Seeing how much you’ve grown

All on your own

Oh

Oh

Hearing you cry

It made me cry

It made me cry

Hearing me cry

A thousand miles away

Every cry (Greatest love I’ve ever known)

(Ever known)
