Daddy, what´s that mean, that little turtle and a rabbit? He sat me in that seat, showed me the wheel and how to grab it
He said, "I´ll work the pedals if you climb up on my knee, I´ll take you with me"
A few years down the road, packin´ a cooler and a sandwich Clingin´ to his leg, guess he could tell I couldn´t stand it He said, "Go hug your mama, and I´ll go grab my keys, I´ll take you with me"
If it was up to me, we´d do everything together And when you´re young like that, you think those days last forever Didn´t know back then how much those words would mean "I´ll take you with me"
I remember one time me and him was turnin´ wrenches
He kept a couple cold ones tucked away for when we fixed it He said, "Let´s sneak out back, so your Mama doesn´t see, I´ll take you with me"
If it was up to me, we´d do everything together And when you´re young like that, you think those days last forever Didn´t know back then how much those words would mean "I´ll take you with me"
Got a youngin´ of my own, he´s too young to understand it When he gets a little older, watchin´ the stage where I´m standin´ He´ll know it´s about him when he hears me sing, "I´ll take you with me"
If it was up to me, we´d do everything together And when they´re young like that, those days, they don´t last forever So, every chance I get, you best believe I´ll take you with me
