"Let You Know When I Get There" lyrics

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
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
