The Me Part of You

Son, someday you'll find yourself turning 16

You'll turn the key, keepin' ten and two

'Til I fade from your rear view

You'll hit the two lane straightaway and crank your radio

Drop that hammer down to the floor

Just to see how fast you go

And you'll smile, thinkin' I don't know

But I know

All the chances you'll take

The wrong turns you'll make

The hearts and the rules and the bones you'll break

'Cause you got something to prove

All the trouble you'll chase

All the hell you'll raise

Every single day, I pray that I'll get through

To the me part of you

You'll turn off that highway down her county road

Feel heartbreak for the first time

'Cause that ain't your truck in her drive

You'll wanna grab that bottle off my bottom shelf

Turn it up 'til you think it helps

But boy, don't do that to yourself

You'll cry, thinkin' I don't know

But I know

All the chances you'll take

The wrong turns you'll make

The hearts and the rules and the bones you'll break

'Cause you got something to prove

All the trouble you'll chase

All the hell you'll raise

Every single day, I pray that I'll get through

To the me part of you

Yeah, I rode the same road

Boy, I've been in your boots

Yeah, I know me and I know you

And all the chances you'll take

The wrong turns you'll make

The hearts and the rules and the bones you'll break

'Cause you got something to prove

All the trouble you'll chase

And all the hell you'll raise

Every single day, I pray that I'll get through

To the me part of you

The me part of you
