Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tiny boots by the back door
Rod and reel lean on the wall
You’re draggin’ that tackle box
It’s twice your size, you barely crawl
Sunrise hittin’ your freckles
Life jacket up round your chin
You say, “Daddy, I’m ready”
And you trip, then laugh, and climb in
[Chorus]
Stay little, my boy
Eat your chicken nuggets on the boat
Ketchup on your shirt
Tellin’ me that ducks can float
I’ll teach you how to cast
Teach you how to shoulder all this joy
But I keep prayin’ to the Lord
Slow it down
Stay little, my boy
[Verse 2]
Cold dawn out in December
You’re whisper-yellin’, “I see one, Dad”
Camouflage that’s too big
Orange cap sittin’ all bad
Hands wrapped ‘round that thermos
Hot chocolate to your nose
You say, “One day I’ll come out here alone”
And my chest just tightens slow
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One day you’ll drive that old truck
Throw your muddy boots in back
Bring home stories of some girl
And a heart I can’t protect like that
So while you’re spillin’ fries in my lap
And askin’ “Can we stay a little more?”
I say, “Buddy, as long as I’m breathin’
You’ll always be
Four”
[Chorus]
