Memo to My Son Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wait'll you learn how to talk, baby
I'll show you how smart I am
I'll show you how smart I am

[Chorus]
A quitter never wins
A winner never quits
When the going gets tough
The tough get going

[Verse 3]
Maybe you don't know how to walk, baby
Maybe you can't talk none either
Maybe you never will, baby
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
