Let You Know When I Get There

Sixteen, off and running

Full tank, probably getting into something

Mama doing what mamas do

Thinking the worst

Make you roll down your window asking

Where you going?

Who you going with?

I'll know even if you only take a sip

You roll your eyes say you won't forget

"Yeah, Mama, I love you too"

I'll let you know when I get there

The second I pull in the drive

If you need me you know where

I'll be home later on tonight

You ain't got to wait up

I know what you think but

Everything's gonna be alright

I'll let you know when I get there

John boat that summer

Catching one ride after another

Grandpa doing what grandpas do

Trying to tie a lesson into every Palomar he's tyin'

They still doing dollar pitchers where that college is?

Will you come back in the summer like your daddy did?

Is our quarterback good to go and play again

'Cause how 'bout them dawgs?

I'll let you know when I get there

The second I cruise through town

If you need me you know where

I'll be just a couple hundred miles south

You pick a home game

We'll go and tailgate

Yeah, we got time to figure it out

I'll let you know when I get there

Cracking jokes 'bout who gets his money

Doing his best to make a sad thing funny

But we couldn't hold back

We let the tears fall

When he said don't worry y'all

I'll let you know when I get there

The second I get through the gates

If you need me you know where

Yeah, all you gotta do is pray

I'll be the red bird outside your window

I lived a good one

And I'm ready to go

I'll let you know when I get there

I'll let you know when I get there

When I get there

When I get there
