Days Like These
My father recently passed away. In the latter years of his life, he was handicapped and couldn't get out. The last time I remember him out was at his grandson's birthday party, a beautiful summer day. I remember him saying that he was thankful for "Days like these." I picked up a napkin beside the cake, a crayon, and I went and sat in my truck and wrote this song down after being inspired.

The sun shines, the children laugh
The smoke rolls off the grill
The lemonade tastes sweet today
The kids roll on down the hill
Grass stains from knee to toe
But no one seems to care
Ice cream on a squeaky swing
Honeysuckle in the air...
(Chorus)
On days like these
I don't look behind me
On days like these
Y'all know where to find me
Out in the sun, loving life
Stuck in the moment, please
Just leave me to make memories
On days like these
Fishing poles on a river bank
After walking through the wheat
Sunburned, I was out all day
But I don't mind this heat
Little man caught him a perch
He was reeling like a whale
It's back home to crack a cold one
And tell those tall fish tales...
(Chorus)
The first glow of a lightning bug
The weather's cooling down
Crack the cooler wide open
And play that music loud
Grab a guitar, sing a song
That I wrote yesterday
Hum my way through half the words
But it sure is fun to play...
(Chorus)
