Mr. & Mrs. McDonough

Dear Mr. and Mrs. McDonough I
Wanna thank you for everything this summertime
For raising him to be on time to our plans
To never let the check fall into my hands

You always made me feel so at home
and your son made me feel so valuable
i have no doubt you know this feeling
That he makes life a better thing to be living

Im writing to let you know I loved him
I want best for him just like you did
I’m sure you’ll welcome the rest like you did me
I just ask you don’t forget
Who loved him at seventeen

Mr. and Mrs. McDonough I
cant forget Florida Georgia Line
little me always dreamed of that night
singing country songs with a guy I liked

I remember Christmas rolled around
he finally got home from that old college town
It was time to leave his girl back home for good now
Didn’t understand it then but I do now

Im writing to let you know I loved him
Still want best for him just like you did
I’m sure you’ve welcomed the rest like you did me
I just ask you don’t forget
Who loved him at seventeen

ill admit all these years later
Ive loved a few more
but when I hear “Cruise” on the radio
i still feel tears coming on

Ill admit all these years later
He reaches out every now and then
Im so glad we aren’t strangers
Its nice to have him in my life again

Im writing to let you know I loved him
I want best for him just like you did
I just ask you don’t forget all about me
Cuz ill never forget who loved me at seventeen
