    Jason Meadows - 18 video tapes

    It's on his new album 100% Cowboy, releases July 10th.

    Lyrics

    One day little Billy said “momma, where’s my dad?”

    Fightin’ back the tears she said “I knew one day you’d ask”

    She walked him down the hallway, to a closet with a safe

    Said “I think you’ll find the answer right here, in these 18 video tapes”

    See the doctors told him he’d be gone before you were born

    And it broke his heart to know he’d never hold you in his arms

    Determined not to let you grow up learnin from mistakes

    He put everything he thought you’d need to know, on 18 video tapes

    Like here’s the way you hold a bat,

    Be sure to keep that shoulder back

    And when you cast that rod and reel,

    Well use your wrist its in the field,

    Or when you learn to ride your bike

    I’ll tell you now that you won’t like those training wheels

    But your momma will

    That day honest momma showed him one of them a year

    Sometimes it was almost like his dad was really there

    Sometimes he laughed, sometimes he cried

    But he always walked away

    Havin’ learned another lesson from his dad, in those 18 video tapes

    Like when you shave don’t get too close

    Lose the hair but leave the nose

    And when your momma gives you my old truck

    Don’t drive too fast or ride the clutch

    Don’t listen to your buddies son

    when the conversation comes to the birds and bees

    Just go to tape 18

    Well I just need to tell you one more thing before I go

    It wont be long you’ll have a little baby of your own

    Be there for ‘em every day, no matter what it takes

    Even you have to put your love on 18 video tapes
