My old man taught hard work pays off
Said the beach is the place to go get lost
Take a photo so the memory can last forever
My heart taught me not to fall to quick
Courage got me that backseat kiss
I learned summer days were made for catching up
With high-school friends
Oh, yeah a barstool taught me
Oh, about ice cold beer
Oh, and when the right song hits me
It sends me back through the years
Speedin' taught me how to slow down, hey hey
Leavin' taught me I need family around, hey hey
Yeah, you can bet time taught me to take chances
And took a chance with you and I was blessed
'Cause
You taught me how to love
And love taught me the rest
Hey, hey
Momma taught money ain't happiness
Treat a woman with the utmost respect
Say a prayer every night cause the man upstairs controls your weather
I learned to stay strong, hold back tears
When I taste the garlic in a home-cooked meal
Like grandma made in the kitchen, yeah I miss her
Oh, it was loss that taught me
Oh, to hold my loved ones tight
Oh, and forgiveness taught me
Let it be, let it go, let it fly
Speedin' taught me how to slow down, hey hey
Leavin' taught me I need family around, hey hey
Yeah, you can bet time taught me to take chances
And took a chance with you and I was blessed
'Cause
You taught me how to love
And love taught me the rest
Hey, hey
Love taught me the rest
Hey, hey
Speedin' taught me how to slow down
Hey, hey
Leavin' taught me I need family around
Hey
You taught me how to love
And love taught me the rest
Love taught me the rest
