I've been sittin' in the back of my truck Thinkin' about all them times that I've pushed my luck
Hard-headed as hell, that's now a story to tell to a boy from a man that's all grown up
I shoulda listened to him way back then To my dad that was just tryna raise a man
Now he's gone and when I've had enough I start prayin' to myself in hopes he hears from up above
He was right for sure, I shoulda listened more when he said that time flies in a flash
Memories you make, the bad times and mistakes, just learn from them never look back
Now it's my turn to raise a man out of my son
Teach him all the rights and wrongs from a man to a man thanks dad, man, I owe you one
Sitting here teach him how to bait a hook And that it might take a while, be patient for the bite
And balance is the key, won't get it on the first time practice makes perfect when you learn to ride a bike
And when you get a girl, you better treat her right And then maybe one day she will be your wife
Have kids of your own, build a family and home That when you look back, you will say
He was right for sure, I shoulda listened more When he said that time flies in a flash
Memories you make, the bad times and mistakes Just learn from them, never look back
Now it's my turn to raise a man out of my son
Teach him all the rights and wrongs from a man to a man thanks dad, man, I owe you one
And now he's sitting in the back of his truck thinking about all them times that he pushed his luck
Thanking me for all the lessons and the memories to now handing down and teaching to his young buck
