Rub A Little Dirt On It

My first bike was a BMX one sweet ride
Daddy and me built that thing couldnt wait to get outside
Went ripping out the front yard
Ran straight into a parked car
Wish Id taken time to learn them brakes
And I cried there on the street
Banged my elbow skinned both knees
This is what my Daddy had to say

Rub a little dirt on it
Itll make it better
Rub a little dirt on it
It will make you feel fine
Rub a little dirt on it
And youll forget it
Dont be afraid to rub a little - dirt on it

Time turns the pages quickly - got a little girl of my own
Whos really into soccer and texting on her phone
Shes tough plays hard with attitude
Never one to make to make excuses
Every game she gives all that shes got
She came limping off at halftime
Tears welling up on the sidelines
She=d hurt her leg trying to block that shot

And I told her...

Cause life is full of bumps and bruises all sorts of things you cant control
And when it starts to feeling like it can=t get any worse
My Daddy taught me all I need to know
