Sittin' in that barn, it ain't seen dirt for at least 3 years
He would push the clutch and say, "Son, find that second gear
Say yessir when you answer, always look me in the eye
Have a shoulder for a woman, sometimes they need to cry"

Just a few things I learned along the way
Been passed down but I use them everyday
It's the simple things in life
That get you through the fight
Go to church, stay clear of that old devil
That's what my daddy taught me
Before my feet could reach the pedals

Sittin' on a bucket, looking for a half inch wrench
"That carburetor's sticking, son, we gotta get it fixed
Don't let your pride run your life, sometimes it's just takes takes time
There's up and downs and bumpy roads, so don't ignore the signs"

Just a few things I learned along the way
Been passed down but I use them everyday
It's the simple things in life
That get you through the fight
Go to church, stay clear of that old devil
That's what my daddy taught me
Before my feet could reach the pedals

It's faded and it's green, and probably ain't worth a thing
But on top of that old worn out seat is where I learned everything
Before my feet could even reach the pedals
Before my feet could even reach the pedals
