[Verse 1]
We were at three, just mom, sissy, and me
All piled in the bed, cartoons on the TV
Then we got the call, big smiles, happy tears
Every little worry washed clear in that year
We knew it was you, yeah, my buckaroo
Tiny little heartbeat coming straight through
Whole world shifted in a single afternoon
Room on my chest, made room for you soon
[Chorus]
I got my buckaroo, my lil dude (my lil dude)
Rock you while the whole sky turns blue (mm, that’s you)
Whisper every dream I once knew
Now I got a little me since I met you
My buckaroo, my buckaroo
I’ll stay up late, just watching you
Yeah, I got my buckaroo, my lil dude
Now I got a little me since I met you
[Verse 2]
Tiny socks lined up on the dresser by the wall
Name on the door written crooked, kinda small
Sissy picking outfits, momma laughing in the hall
Family got bigger, heart grew overall
Little hands grabbing at my thumb, won’t let go
I’m learning how to lead you while I still grow
Talking to your picture like you already here
Practicing your nickname in your little ear (buckaroo)
[Chorus]
I got my buckaroo, my lil dude (hey buckaroo)
Rock you while the whole sky turns blue
Whisper every dream I once knew
Now I got a little me since I met you
My buckaroo, my buckaroo
I’ll stay up late, just watching you
Yeah, I got my buckaroo, my lil dude
Now I got a little me since I met you
