He didn?t ask
He didn?t pry
He just held the ice that covered my black eye
When that girl, she broke my heart
We just threw that baseball back and forth till dark
When I started playing guitar, and didn?t have a clue
He wanted to protect me, but somehow my father knew
Chorus
That you can cry for
live and die for
You can help them find their wings but you can?t fly for
Cause if they?re not free to fall, then they?re not free at all
And though you just can?t bear the thought of letting go
Pick em up?. dust em off and Send Em on Down The Road
INTRO AGAIN
Little kiss, on a skinned up knee
From playing soccer, riding bikes, and climbing trees
When bad dreams, fill their heads
I chase the monsters out from underneath their beds
Guess I always knew those days, would end
But the hardest thing I?ve ever learned has been?
Chorus
That you can cry for
live and die for
You can help them find their wings but you can?t fly for
Cause if they?re not free to fall, then they?re not free at all
And though you just can?t bear the thought of letting go
Pick em up?. dust em off and Send Em on Down The Road
Solo
That you can cry for
live and die for
And even though its gonna break your heart, you let em go
Pick em up?. dust em off
You Hold em close? and you pray to God
Send em on down the road
