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 mе

I remember onе 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

I'll take you with me
I'll take you with me
