Turn Around

Dad, had a problem pouring water into a bottle
He would show up loaded like an old 45, son
Don’t let your past tell you who you are and where you’ve been
Turn the car around
 
Age of twelve, you kicked up the dirt, running hard in that field
Pulling weeds on your uncle’s farm Under the hood of that ford
He knew as did I that engine would start, like your heart
Don’t let your mind race tell you who you are and where you’ve been
Turn the car around
 
Live for the living, it doesn’t come easy,
That life he sees, in the rearview mirror
Whoa, the reason you’ve been looking for,
Turn the car around, Turn the car around,
 
One day, she will hop right up, as you open the door
To that red ford, she may be more than you bargain for
Read the signs, know you are not your daddy, man
Don’t let your past tell you who you are and where you’ve been
Turn the car around
 
Live for the living, it doesn’t come easy,
That life he sees, in the rearview mirror
Whoa, the reason you’ve been looking for,
Turn the car around, Turn the car around,
 
It is not the years in your life
but the life in your years that count
Life goes by fast at any pace
Drop a gear and don’t go sideways
You’ll get where you’re going any day
 
Live for the living, it doesn’t come easy,
That life he sees, in the rearview mirror
Whoa, the reason you’ve been looking for,
Turn the car around, Turn the car around,
