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
Packing a cooler and a sandwich
Clinging 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
I got a youngin’ of my own
He’s too young to understand it
When he gets a little older
Watching the stage where I’m standing
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
I’ll take you with me
I’ll take you with me
