Hope-you-get-to-do List
c2008 Opfer/Townley

Hey little slugger it’s your daddy
Boy you’re kickin’ momma hard
Today the doctor said it’s gettin’ close
So again I got to thinkin’ 
About my younger years
And moments that stuck with me the most 
Times when I decided what I would or wouldn’t do
And I’ve come with some things I hope for you        

	CHORUS 1
Havin’ long talks with your grandpa 
Fishin’ at McGyver’s Creek
Stickin’ up for someone
Playin’ hard for a losin’ team
Growin’ from each swing and miss
Thinkin’ ‘bout my hope-you-get-to-do list

Back when that fuzzy picture
Showed us you’d be a boy
I bought the bluest paint Wal-Mart had
A Little Tykes red wagon
A Fisher Price tool bench
And a future all-star baseball cap
But you’re probably gonna get more out of life 
From the things that I can’t buy like
	
	CHORUS 2
Buildin’ your first clubhouse 
Out of boxes and duct tape
Knockin’ down old hubcaps
With a slingshot that you made
Growin’ from each swing and miss

TAG
Workin’ all year at McDonald’s
So you can buy your first used car
Seein’ it takes some lookin’
To find the girl next door
Learnin’ from experience
Thinkin’ about my hope-you-get-to-do list
