“Bama Bound”

verse 1
First it was the ABCs
and the fundamentals to read,
Making some friendships,
finding your talent to lead.

verse 2
Then it was the harder math,
blazing a middle school path.
making the cheer team,
turned the joy in you up full blast.

chorus
But what we didn’t know…..
is how fast the growing up would go.
Because we blinked…
All the changes were profound.
From your head to your toe,
The sophistication would show,
And on your way,
you were high school bound.

verse 3
Then came the driving of a car,
and tracking everywhere you are.
Driving a carpool
or meeting friends both near and far.

verse 4
Then you were making a plan,
preparing yourself to expand,
more independence
and reaching as far as you can.

chorus
But what we didn’t know…..
is how fast the growing up would go.
Because we blinked…
All the changes were profound.
From your head to your toe,
The sophistication would show,
The next phase in life for you …
means you are college bound.

Bridge
You’re wanting the big SEC,
and to join a good sorority,
We know you’ll get there…
landing with both feet on the ground.
You have made it very well known
You want Tuscaloosa as your home,
It’s looking like..that you’re Bama Bound!

chorus
But what we didn’t know…..
is how fast the growing up would go.
Because we blinked…
All the changes were profound.
From your head to your toe,
The sophistication would show,
You’re ready to fly
And will be Bama bound.
