The year I was born was 1991 I was my father's first biological son I had one older brother, he was seven at the time He didn't know his real dad, but he was sure glad he had mine My father met my mother maybe three years before She fell madly in love, but did not know what for She was a single mother and previously married My dad wanted her so bad, It was exciting and scary Now my mom would ask my father back then nearly every night John, when are you gonna make me your wife? He said there's still one thing that I'd really like to see Can you make fried okra the way my mom used to make me? He came home to the sound of crackling on the stove And it brought tears to his eyes He found more happiness inside that girl Than anything else beneath the sky 1993, my baby brother Cole was born In a Kansas City hospital And with a bag of Dallas dirt, my dad said, can I cover the bed? I want my boy born on Texas soil, That's actually what he said And when the doctor said you're crazy My dad threw the bag away He looked at me and said, son, I guess Missouri's gonna have to be okay For four years, we lived in Blue Springs and that's where I made most my first memories Like the first time I saw a rainbow or that first dog I had named Sissy And I still remember the first time music meant anything to me I was in my room humming the melody to We Will Rock You by Queen And the parents sat the boys down in 1996 and said, We're moving the family back to Texas Yeah, we're moving back to Dallas, Texas So we built a home on a piece of land outside of town Just like my father always wanted to And we buried a Bible where the living room should be And we prayed, Lord, you gave us this house, now we give it back to you Give it back to you Give it back to you
