That Ain’t Going No Where

Daddy said boy grab the rope and tie it tight

We’re loading up the truck with our dirt bikes

Toss it once toss it twice pull it with care

If it shakes too much say that ain’t going nowhere

That ain’t going nowhere oh no it’s not

If it’s loose and rattlin it’ll come apart

Tie it strong hold it firm handle with care

Don’t let it shake too much say that ain’t going nowhere

Years rolled on and I grew tall and lean

Met a girl with a smile like a sunlit dream

Daddy’s voice echoed like the summer air

He said son tie it tight so that don’t go nowhere

That ain’t going nowhere oh no it’s not

If it’s loose and rattlin it’ll come apart

Tie it strong hold it firm handle with care

Pad it with your hand and say that ain’t going nowhere

I’ve been tying knots all my life, but this one I’m gonna make sure is right

I thought of my dad and the lessons I’d wear

Love’s a heavy load but it’s going somewhere

Now I’m the dad with a boy by my side

Teaching him to load the truck with his dirtbike

Toss it once toss it twice pull it with care

I say son remember that ain’t going nowhere
