kick back and let the cool breeze blow
feel the grass up between your toes
take a deep breath for a minute
somethin' this good gotta make last
if you let it slip by too fast
you going to wish you didn't miss it
how's it son? i was just like you when i was there
always in a hurry growin' up i thought it wasn't fair
livin' fast like every moment might just be the last
see it's the future that you really want
who really needs the past
makin' somethin' outta nothing thats what life's about
you keep the devil at your back even when you doubt
see its your life son turn it up and let it rip
and don't forget to take a breath and just
kick back and let the cool breeze blow
feel the grass up between your toes
take a deep breath for a minute
somethin' this good gotta make last
if you let it slip by too fast
you going to wish you didn't miss it
son i ain't preachin' i'm just teaching lessons that i've learned
cause i promised god that i would guide ya each and every turn
you can make a choice and let your voice stand up for right
sometimes you turn the other cheek sometimes you gotta fight
you be a friend to a friend when they need you to
and i'll stand by ya until the end and help to see it through
see its your life son turn it up and let it rip
and don't forget to take a breath and just
kick back and let the cool breeze blow
feel the grass up between your toes
take a deep breath for a minute
somethin' this good gotta make last
if you let it slip by too fast
you going to wish you didn't miss it
thank you dad for giving me what i can give to mine
a lot of love a little luck i'm sure he'll be just fine
love the journey of your life son but don't forget
sit back and just reminisce
kick back and let the cool breeze blow
feel the grass up between your toes
take a deep breath for a minute
somethin' this good gotta make last
if you let it slip by too fast
you going to wish you didn't miss it
