"My Turn" lyrics

Daddy held the back of that plastic seat
Mama stood on the side of the street
Barely six with size three feet
I was pedaling down the road

Holding tight on them handle bars
Nerves of steel and knees with scars
I knew deep down in my heart
I was ready to take control

And I said, "It's my turn
You've done enough already now
It's my turn
You got to just let go and let me take this thing from here
No, there's nothing to fear
You taught me everything I need to learn
It's my turn."

Well, daddy got a little more gray
Mama learned how to crochet
I was counting down the days
I'd move on with my life

That senior summer disappeared
A half-grown man with a full-grown beard
Fighting back those big old tears
When I pulled out the drive

I said, "It's my turn
You've done enough already now
It's my turn
You got to just let go and let me take this thing from here
No, there's nothing to fear
You taught me everything I need to learn
It's my turn."

That old circle of life hit me squared between the eyes today
I hung up the phone, and I was on my way
I knew this day was coming, but I just didn't know when
I'd have to do all the things they did for me back then

And I said, "It's my turn
You've done enough already now
It's my turn
You got to just let go and let me take this thing from here
No, there's nothing to fear
You taught me everything I need to learn
You taught me everything I need to learn
And it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn."
