Give It A Few More Years

Verse:
He picked me up by the overalls
And fed me through the window of his Chevy truck
Bare feet on the front seat
Lookin’ out the back glass watchin’ the dust billow up

Pre-Chorus:
I was only eight years old and I asked my dad
When can I turn the wheel and push the gas myself

Chorus:
He said son just give it a few more years
Then your feet will reach the pedals and you’ll be shiftin’ your own gears
Your dreams will take you far away but I pray you’ll come back here
He said son just give it a few more years

Verse:
Fell in love and I gave her a ring
They wrote just married in shavin’ cream on the back of our car
Found jobs out in LA
Never thought we’d be livin’ that far away or it’d be that hard

Pre-Chorus:
City life a started taken’ a toll on all we had
So I called my dad and asked what I should do

Chorus:
He said son just give it a few more years
Take it from the man who’s been with the same girl for over thirty years
Your mom and I fought lots of times but the love was always there
He said son just give it a few more years

Bridge:
Now I’ve got an eight year old boy of my own
And yesterday we brought a baby girl home
We’re startin’ to build our own little family
He crept up to his sisters crib while I was watchin’ her sleep
And whispered daddy when can she play with me


Chorus:
I said son just give just give it a few more years
She’ll be climbin’ trees and skinnin’ her knees and chasin’ you everywhere
And I’m gonna need your help protectin’ her from all the boys ‘round here
I said son just give it a few more years, just it a few more years

Tag:
I picked him up by his overalls
And fed him through the window of my Chevy truck
