PASS IT ON
KERRY PATRICK CLARK
My daddy laughed my momma cried
I was their little baby born in late July
It's a boy here's my son
He held me in his two rough hands To show to everyone
He said I am the proudest daddy in the world
The story sometimes changes but never will these words
CHORUS
Pass it on pass it on
What your Grandfather once said to me I say to you my son
It all starts here til kingdom comes
We are family we pass it on
Daddy laughed you wanna play guitar
I was the captain of the football team before helmets had those bars
So I played CYO
I think I made the final game With a minute left to go
Hoping I would make my daddy proud
I think I missed the tackle he wasn't in the crowd
CHORUS
Pass it on pass it on
What your Grandfather once said to me I say to you my son
It all starts here til kingdom comes
We are family we pass it on
BRIDGE
I forgot about what my daddy always said
Said I do settled down then she talked of kids
I just laughed she just cried
So I shared the stories and the reasons why
I'll always tell you of the times when I was young
Cause I once made a promise to you before I knew you so
CHORUS
Pass it on pass it on
You can always change the story Or stop it when you want
It all starts here til kingdom comes
We are family we pass it on
