Eric Burgett - Pass It On

I rode around with my old man plowing fields I was just a kid
Up before the dawn, overalls on, just like his daddy did
One day I’ll get the chance to pass that John Deere down the line
Cause it was more than just a ride, and that’s why

I’m a “no sir” “yes ma’am”,
a hold that door for the girl, kind of man
And I’m a God Bless the U.S.,
when the flag flies high, there’s a hand on my chest
You’ll see my last name on that farm when I’m long gone
Cause I know I’ll be the one to pass it on

I take pride in everything and I do and I do what I say
I work for every dime I earn, cause that’s how I was raised
There’s nothing more I’d rather see than my roots growing strong
Til the good Lord calls me home, I’ll carry on, carry on, carry on and be

A “no sir” “yes ma’am”
a hold that door for the girl, kind of man
And I’m a God Bless the U.S.,
when the flag flies high, there’s a hand on my chest
You’ll see my last name on that farm when I’m long gone
Cause I know I’ll be the one to pass it on

No, my daddy, he didn’t lie
When he looked me right in the eye
Said, “It ain’t what you have in life”
Man it’s what you’re gonna leave behind, that’s why

I’m a “no sir” “yes ma’am”
a hold that door for the girl, kind of man
And I’m a God Bless the U.S.,
when the flag flies high, there’s a hand on my chest
You’ll see my last name on that farm when I’m long gone
Cause I know I’ll be the one
I know I’ll be the one
You can bet that I’ll be the one to pass it on. Yeah
Pass it on
