My little boy came to me last night, he said,
Daddy, I wish I could [E] drive that big old truck [B] just like you.
You can stay up as late as you want,
watch TV all night [E] long, nobody telling you [B] what to do.
[F#] I know I'm everything [E] he just can't wait to be.
[F#] But if it was [E] up to [F#]
me, [B] I'd ride my [F#] bike down the old dirt [E] path,
hands in the air going way too [B] fast, make the [F#] morning last all [E] afternoon.
[B] In a tight [F#] swing on my favorite [E] creek, man, that water was cold [B] indeed.
Like all the [F#] banks that stare up [E] into the blue.
[A] Yes, son, I [E] want to be just [B] like [F#] you.
[E] He [B] said, Dad, when you gonna take me to work?
I said, let's stay here, dig in the [E] dirt, play talk to trucks,
trade [B] baseball cards.
He wants to travel the world like me, I'd rather stay home,
climb a big oak tree, [E] catch fireflies in a [B] mason jar.
[F#] He's just a breath away [E] from standing in my shoes,
[F#] but if I could stand in his, here's what [E] I'd do.
[F#] [B] I'd ride my [F#] bike down the old dirt [E] path, hands in the air going way too [B] fast,
make the [F#] morning last all [E] afternoon.
[B] Sitting around a [F#] makeup sales [E] zone,
grilled sand castles all day [B] long, eat [F#] candy bars and watch [E] cartoons.

[B] In a tight swing [F#] of a beaver creek, [E] man, that water was cold and [B] deep.
