The Promise
The only reason I would study
was so I could go and get muddy
on that dirt road by my dad's camp
chasing frogs and building dams
I would study hard and do my best
do my homework and pass my test
just so when friday would come around
I'd be ready when he'd say let's get out of town!
If my dad would work late, we'd still head out
getting to camp with the stars all spread out
the moon pure white, fresh dew on the grass
the ground would sparkle like broken glass
To some it didn't make sense to drive all night
to unload the truck by the moon light
Just to get to the cabin where we slept
but in my eyes it was a promise my dad kept
