The Beginning Of Things Lyrics - Charlie Worsham

He was born a William 

But he goes by Bill 

He's had some big dreams 

And he has them still 

Well her name's Samantha 

Only he calls her Sam 

They grew up together 

Right outside Birmingham 

'Bout halfway through college 

With their heads in a whirl 

He asked her will you love me always? 

She said I always will 

And they started building a house 

She's still livin' there now 

With her half-painted porch 

And rusty gold ring 

He only likes the beginning of things 

He only likes the beginning of things 

Now Bill's gettin' older 

He ain't settled down still 

He's got a daughter out of college 

And she calls him Bill 

She goes to visit her mother 

Well there's good days and bad 

She only recognizes her half the time 

But she's always glad 

She still recalls building a house 

As if it's happenin' then 

With her half-painted porch 

And rusty gold ring 

He only likes the beginning of things 

He only likes the beginning of things, mm 

Soon after daughter's last visit 

Samantha passes away 

The whole family surrounded her 

Just the other day 

He was the third one to get there 

Just mother and daughter and Bill 

She said, "Mother never blamed you 

But I always will" 

He grabs his coat and his hat 

She's surprised by that 

He's a half-painted porch 

A rusty gold ring 

He only likes the beginning of things 

He only likes the beginning of things, ooh 

Ooh
