Ricky Skaggs Thanks Again Lyrics

I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day
For Father's Day, a shirt and a card
While they came from the heart
They all fell short of saying how special you both are

It wasn't till I was up and gone
Married with a couple of kids of my own
Doing what mamas and daddies do
That I realized what I must have put you through

So thanks again for the love in the cradle
And all of the changes that kept me dry
And thanks again for the love at our table
And tannin' my bottom when I told you a lie

For takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites
And tuckin' me in, yes, night after night
To my beautiful life long friends
Hey, Mom and Daddy, thanks again I'm still a young man, least I think I am
But I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray
And your call last Sunday brought to mind
That I owe you a debt, I can never repay

So thanks again for worryin' and waitin'
When I started datin' on weekend nights
And thanks again for the help with my homework
And sittin' up with me till I got it right

Your car for the prom, your letters in 'Nam
But most of all, Daddy, for marryin' Mom
To my beautiful life long friends
Hey, Mom and Daddy, thanks again

To my beautiful life long friends
Hey, Mom and Daddy, thanks again
Thanks again
