lyrics

I Haven’t Turned Out Yet

The other day I heard my Mom complaining to my Dad
It seemed she was quite certain I was turning out all bad
And so that night when she came in to tuck me into bed
I asked her to sit down a while and this is what I said,

“Mom, you do not need to worry
Mom, you do not need to fret
Those things you always tell me I never will forget
Someday I’ll be a grown up, and you’ll be proud I bet
You see I’m still a kid, Mom,
I haven’t turned out yet

My Dad was tellin’ grandpa he was worried as could be
It seemed his heart was breaking…he was so ashamed of me
And so that night instead of Mom…it was Dad who tucked me in
I asked him to sit down a while…I started with a grin…

I said, “Dad, you do not need to worry
Mom, you do not need to fret
That spanking you just gave me…I never will forget
Someday I’ll be a grown up…and you’ll be proud I bet
You see I’m still a kid, Dad
I haven’t turned out yet

A little later that same night…we heard both Mom and Dad
We peeked through the keyhole…they were kneeling by their bed
With arms around each other…they were talkin’ kind of sad
It seemed that they were praying…cause this is what they said,

Lord, we ask you to forgive us
Lord, we’re so quick to forget
We were kids not long ago…and we’re not grown up yet
Lord help us to be kind…and not do things we’ll regret
Be patient with us please, Lord….we haven’t turned out yet
Keep working with us please, Lord
We haven’t turned out yet
