Teenager In The House

Boxes full of baby clothes

Stacked up near the roof

Boxes full of little baby shoes

Envelopes of baby hair

A homeless baby tooth

And every single shade of baby blue

He's through with pulling wagons now

Through with riding trikes

That first day without training wheels was hard

That is ancient history

Let me tell ya what he likes

Racing up and down the driveway in my car

This is what can happen when your girl becomes your spouse

The stork begins delivery at your door

One day home sweet home will be quiet as a mouse

This is why we pray a whole lot more

Teenager in the house

Well recently a revelation started coming clear

That's right, son, you call those "girls"

Hey, can the phone be surgically implanted in the ear

He's reaching out and touching half the world

Philosophy and wisdom from the experts all agree

Parenthood can be a little rough

Well, I can't speak for you

But listen I can speak for me

This pill will go down easier if ya just

Lighten up!
