Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I send the check for the lease

every January to 1100 Beckham Ridge Road

Have your corn knee-high by July

Where we hunt the bottom by the white oak road

Before you crank the tractor, pump the clutch

I ain't goin' nowhere no time soon, but just

In case I ain't around when you get older

I just thought I'd tell you now so down the road you

Are good to go through the highs and lows

In all life's up and downs

Yeah, that way I'm still there for you somehow

In case I ain't around

Make sure y'all still eat together at your Mama's after church Sunday

Throw the dog a ball, take a walk and call your brother if you had a hard day

Where the dogwoods bloom, you best be fishin'

When it's my time to die, boy, don't stop livin'

In case I ain't around when you get older

I just thought I'd tell you now so down the road you

Are good to go through the highs and lows

In all life's up and downs

Yeah, that way I'm still there for you somehow

In case I ain't around

I just hope you know that I'm proud of you

I wanna make sure that you know I love you

In case I ain't around when you get older

I just thought I'd tell you now so down the road you

Are good to go through the highs and lows

In all life's up and downs

Yeah, that way I'm still there for you somehow

Yeah, that way I'm still there for you somehow

In case I ain't around

In case I ain't around
