Mr. Straight get busy

George Strait sings a song that says he saw God today and what a miracle his baby girl is. I have some news for him. Every baby girl is a miracle. Then somebody sings about how he loved his little girl first and she'll always be his number one. Another song laments a daddy losing his "Cinderella". I love little girls-I have/had two-they're grown now. But where are the songs about boys?
We need one about how it feels to watch your son step foward and open your door without any prompting. We need one to say how proud a parent feels when your son works a forty hour week because his bosses call him because he's one of the best workers. How it feels to watch your son change his own oil on his vehicle(his jeep is in better shape than when he bought it). How about bringing home grades that are over the top-I don't think I could have made the grades he in the classes he has taken even without the after school job. How about when he goes to church with his friends on a Sunday morning(you know every Saturday is a late night when you're 17 or 18)?
Mr. Strait, people need a song about how it feels to watch your son grow from a cute, funny boy into a wonderful considerate man. If you need a name-Paul come to mind.
