I was just a boy, watching you as you played.
Those are the times that I remember to this day
The beating of the drum, the warmth of the bass
The guitar around your neck, the smile on your face.
Follow along now boy someday you play.

You taught me the songs you love each and every chord.
Singing out the parts, even when you were bored.
Giving me those charts and writing out the words.
Having me strum along with a smile on your face
Follow along now son someday you will play.

I played every day, sure to make you proud.
I practiced every part, even learned some more.
I tore those songs apart, played them very loud.
I have come so far with a smile on my face.
Come on along now dad lets go play.

(chorus)
I want to thank you for your time.
The gift you gave all my life.
The words of praise, the songs we played
Sharing that peace of mind.
I want to thank you for your time.

I was just a boy, watching you as you played.
Those are the times that I remember to this day
The beating of the drum, the warmth of the bass
The guitar around your neck, the smile on your face.
Follow along now boy someday you play.

You taught me the songs you love each and every word.
Singing out the parts, even when you were bored.
Giving me all those charts and writing out the chord.
Having me strum along with a smile on your face
Follow along now son someday you will play.

I played every day, sure to make you proud.
I practiced every part, even learned some more.	 
I tore those songs apart, played them very loud.
I have come so far with a smile on my face.
Come on along now dad lets go play.

(chorus)
I want to thank you for that time.
The gift you gave all my life.
The words of praise, the songs we played
Sharing that peace of mind.
I want to thank you for your time.
