Ten Thousand More

You know I've been working late
Traveling across the states
Gotta make the bills keep the lights on
A little price we gotta pay
Regret it everyday
I swear I'll make it up when I get home
Cause I know that one day you'll be grown
I'll wake and all your things in boxes in the hall
And then sit in your room and just pray for a while
And ask God to watch over you in my place
Sacrifice for a life that I never had
But I hope your still smiling when your looking back
Tried to raise up a faithful and gentlemen
Tough enough to fall down and rise up again
So if your ever feeling lost
You get directions from the Bible that I bought
And don't forget the spare keys under the door

Every year ive watched you grow
Ten thousand memories on my phone
The proudest dad in Ohio
So when you're feeling all alone
Remember all those conversations
Sunday nights watching the game
Summer trips down to the ocean
You fell asleep before the interstate
Lift you up on top of my shoulders
So that you could see the world
And if you're ever feeling lonely
We can make ten thousand more
You just tell me which direction
Turn the key and close the door
Before we back out the driveway
Lets bow our heads and thank the Lord

One day you'll have a family of your own
Loading up the car and heading down to the coast
I hope that it reminds you of growing up at home
Cherish all of these moments cause you'll miss them when they're gone
Trust me
I miss every single one
Night baseball games driving in a couple runs
And listening to NF couldn't pick a favorite song
Singing every word to Happy and Pandamonium
So be strong but stay kind
Slow down hit rewind
You show love don't think twice
When your feet hit the sand picture mom smiling
In a sun dress walking you up the shoreline
And if your ever feeling lost
You get directions from the Bible that i bought
And don't forget the spare keys under the door

Every year ive watched you grow
Ten thousand memories on my phone
The proudest dad in Ohio
So when you're feeling all alone
Remember all those conversations
Sunday nights watching the game
Summer trips down to the ocean
You fell asleep before the interstate
Lift you up on top of my shoulders
So that you could see the world
And if you're ever feeling lonely
We can make ten thousand more
You just tell me which direction
Turn the key and close the door
Before we back out the driveway
Lets bow our heads and thank the Lord

Carry me back home
Hold me till I'm gone
Carry me back home
Hold me till I'm gone
