"Let 'Em" lyrics

There's crumbs in the couch, bikes in the yard
A dent in the side of the neighbor's car
Where a base ball went a little too far
Over that picket fence

There's a million Legos on the floor
Crayon marks on the bedroom door
Just stepped on a dinosaur
And there's Cheetos in the vent

It's easy to get mad as hell
But, oh, you might as well

Let 'em run barefoot through the mud
Let 'em take the wheel in your old truck
Let 'em work you over for a couple bucks
After halfway mowin' the yard
Let 'em get that ice cream on their face
Let 'em take you up to outer space
Let 'em learn the hard way from their mistakes
'Cause that's how you learn a lesson
They only stay young so long
So just let 'em

They ain't always gonna stay knee high
The days, the months, the years fly by
So don't fly through story time
Pick out another book
Let 'em build a fort, let 'em climb a tree
Let 'em stay up late, let 'em skin their knees
When you take 'em fishin' in the creek, let 'em bait the hook

Let 'em run barefoot through the mud
Let 'em take the wheel in your old truck
Let 'em work you over for a couple bucks
After halfway mowin' the yard
Let 'em get that ice cream on their face
Let 'em take you up to outer space
Let 'em learn the hard way from their mistakes
'Cause that's how you learn a lesson
They only stay young so long
So just let 'em
Oh, just let 'em

Teach 'em right from wrong
Let 'em ask you questions
And they'll teach you something too
If you let 'em

Let 'em run barefoot through the mud
Let 'em take the wheel in your old truck
Let 'em work you over for a couple bucks
After halfway mowin' the yard
Let 'em get that ice cream on their face
Let 'em take you up to outer space
Let 'em learn the hard way from their mistakes
'Cause that's how you learn a lesson
They only stay young so long
Yeah, they only stay young so long
So just let 'em
Yeah, just let 'em
