Remember Where You Came From

I've learned a thing or two
When it comes to livin' life
Everybody's got their own two cents
When it comes to givin' advice
But I remember what my old man told me
right before I left
Havin' a beer sittin' in the back
of a packed up truck bed
When he said

Look a man in the eye when you shake his hand
Don't ever give up and tell yourself you can't
If someone doubts you boy prove 'em wrong
'Cause good things come with hard work and time
And always keep the good Lord by your side
But most important son
Remember where you came from

Out here in the real world
Just kind of like his twelve gauge
I can feel the kick
Some day's I'm the captain
Others I'm the last one picked
Sometimes I'm a losin' hand
but I'll deal with what I'm dealt
You can bet I won't give up
'Cause I can still hear daddy yell
Son give 'em hell

And look a man in the eye when you shake his hand
Don't ever give up and tell yourself you can't
If someone doubts you boy prove 'em wrong
'Cause good things come with hard work and time
And always keep the good Lord by your side
But most important son
Remember where you came from

Well even though years have passed
and now he's gone
I still carry those words around
and some day I'll get to pass 'em on

Look a man in the eye when you shake his hand
Don't ever give up and tell yourself you can't
If someone doubts you boy you prove 'em wrong
'Cause good things come with hard work and time
And always keep the good Lord by your side
But most important son

But most important son
Remember where you came from

Remember where you came from
