Right next to a Bible

 

I leaned a guitar in the corner of your room

 

With some Milsap on vinyl

 

I figured the best thing I could do was put a thing or two

 

And that it wouldn't hurt to have in your way, on your path

 

 

Hoping you might pick it up one day

 

And you might learn a couple pretty cool things

 

That I love to do

 

Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it

 

I don't know what you gonna be

 

But I hope you smile when you think of me

 

Cause I helped make you

 

But I didn't never try to make you pick it up

 

You just pick it up, pick it up

 

 

Early to rise, headin' to work

 

Open a door for a stranger

 

Yes sir, yes Mama, red dirt on my hands

 

Showing you the best way I can

 

 

So you might pick it up one day

 

And you might learn a couple pretty cool things

 

That I love to do

 

Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it

 

I don't know what you gonna be

 

But I hope you smile when you think of me

 

Cause I helped make you

 

But i didn't never try to make you pick it up

 

Yeah, you just pick it up

 

 

Dancing and kissing your Mama in the kitchen

 

Treatin' her like a princess, hoping you might pick it up one day

 

Hoping you might learn a couple pretty cool things

 

That I love to do

 

Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it

 

I don't know what you gonna be

 

But i hope you smile when you think of me

 

Cause I helped make you

 

But I didn't never try to make you pick it up

 

Yeah, you just pick it up, pick it up

 

You just pick it up, pick it up, yeah

 

 

I hope you pick it up

 

You just pick it up
