I remember when your dad got sick Wasn't a mountain that you wouldn't move You gave everything you had to give 'Cause you knew you had everything to lose One day, I'll take care of you like you took care of him I'll drive you to the mall, I'll stock your bar with gin I'll love you through the lows just like you always did One day, before we know it, parents become the kids I remember when I couldn't sleep You were always there by my side And if someone ever broke my heart You would dry all of the tears that I cried And one day, I'll take care of you like you took care of me I'll drive you to the mall, I'll buy your groceries I'll love you through the lows just like you always did One day, before we know it, parents become the kids And it might never happen But if I ever have them I hope that someday they'll take care of me like I'll take care of them They'll drive me to the mall, they'll be there in the end They'll love me through the lows just like you always did One day, before we know it, there ain't much life to live One day, before we know it, parents become the kids And one day, I'll take care of you like you took care of me
