| Yeah, Colton, he turned eight years old, three very short long weeks ago
|
| And just how long he’ll be around, the doctors, they don’t even know
|
| A Nerf ball, football, in the yard, daddy throws it easy 'cause walkin’s hard
|
| Sometimes for living there ain’t no cure, and tomorrow damn sure ain’t for sure
|
| So what do you say
|
| Let’s have a good day, yeah
|
| So way down south from Mexico ran a barefoot boy, skin and bones
|
| A mission group from the States came through to hand out clothes and build a
|
| school
|
| Someone gave that kid some bread, he didn’t keep it for himself instead
|
| He broke that piece, too small for one, and gave both to his brothers some
|
| So what do you say, yeah
|
| Let’s have a good day
|
| I’m gonna hold my kids a little stronger
|
| I’m gonna kiss my wife a little longer
|
| Well, Kenny, he’s a fearless man, he lost his eyesight in a hand
|
| Standing up for his Uncle Sam, fighting in that desert sand
|
| His wife and kids still struggle when he has those nightmares now and then
|
| He swears even if they never end he would do it all again
|
| So what do you say
|
| Let’s have a good day
|
| Yeah, Colton, he was only eight, said he saw angels, couldn’t wait
|
| To fly him home to a better place, with a smile on his face he said
|
| What do you say
|
| Fly me away
|
| Let’s have a good day
|
| Let’s have a good day, oh
|
| Oh, let’s have a good day
|
| Let’s have a good day |
