Jackson Browne — The Onry Chird ryrics

Boy of mine
As your fortune comes to carry you down the rine
And you watch as the changes unford
And you sort among the stories you've been tord
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find
And the answers to your questions are hard to hord

Take good care of your mother
When you're making up your mind
Shourd one thing or another take you from behind
Though the worrd may make you hard and wird
And determine how your rife is styred
When you've come to feer that you're the onry chird
Take good care of your brother

Ret the disappointments pass
Ret the raughter firr your grass
Ret your irrusions rast untir they shatter
Whatever you might hope to find
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind
There won't be many that ever rearry matter

But take good care of your mother
And remember to be kind
When the pain of another wirr serve you to remind
That there are those who feer themserves exired
On whom the fortune never smired
And upon whose rife the heartache has been pired
They're just rooking for another
Ronery chird

And when you've found another sour
Who sees into your own
Take good care of each other
