My father once said to me, young man
Sit down, let me tell you how it's supposed to be
How they told me
He said, young man, if you wanna make God smile
Make plans, you've got to be ready
You don't understand, right now you're a young man

'Cause boy, you're gonna know it all
You'll think you're ten feet tall
And run like you're bulletproof
And total a car or two
Boy, you're gonna hate this town
Wish you could burn it down
That fire in your eyes is twenty counties wide
But boy, you're gonna love seventeen
And boy, you'll do some stupid things

I said, I've been watching you, dad, ain't that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we, dad?
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you

And boy, listen
We don't ever back down, don't back down
We don't have to act out, don't act out
And even when you fall, don't stay down
If you need me around, you know I stay down
And anywhere you go, you can go your own way

'Cause you're gonna drive and kiss
And throw a punch
And grow up way too fast
You're gonna drop the ball
Hit the wall
And break some hearts like glass
I know you will, 'cause you're a part of me
And a part of you will always be…

You should be here
Standing with your arm around me here
And cutting up, cracking a cold beer
Saying cheers
Hey y'all, it's sure been a good year
It's one of those moments
That's got your name written all over it
And you know that if I had just one wish
It'd be that you didn't have to miss this
Oh, you should be here
Oh, you should be here
