| I put a fishing rod by your bed
|
| Right next to a bible
|
| I leaned a guitar in the corner of your room
|
| With some Milsap on vinyl
|
| I figured the best thing I could do was put a thing or two
|
| And that it wouldn’t hurt to have in your way, on your path
|
| Hoping you might pick it up one day
|
| And you might learn a couple pretty cool things
|
| That I love to do
|
| Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it
|
| I don’t know what you gonna be
|
| But I hope you smile when you think of me
|
| Cause I helped make you
|
| But I didn’t never try to make you pick it up
|
| You just pick it up, pick it up
|
| Early to rise, headin' to work
|
| Open a door for a stranger
|
| Yes sir, yes Mama, red dirt on my hands
|
| Showing you the best way I can
|
| So you might pick it up one day
|
| And you might learn a couple pretty cool things
|
| That I love to do
|
| Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it
|
| I don’t know what you gonna be
|
| But I hope you smile when you think of me
|
| Cause I helped make you
|
| But i didn’t never try to make you pick it up
|
| Yeah, you just pick it up
|
| Dancing and kissing your Mama in the kitchen
|
| Treatin' her like a princess, hoping you might pick it up one day
|
| Hoping you might learn a couple pretty cool things
|
| That I love to do
|
| Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it
|
| I don’t know what you gonna be
|
| But i hope you smile when you think of me
|
| Cause I helped make you
|
| But I didn’t never try to make you pick it up
|
| Yeah, you just pick it up, pick it up
|
| You just pick it up, pick it up, yeah
|
| I hope you pick it up
|
| You just pick it up |
