The Corner - Rodney Atkins

First time I left home

Here’s the words that my dad said to me

He said sit down son

Don’t take curves

Doing 90 miles an hour

Or you will end up upside down

If you really like her

Don’t forget the flowers

The first time and every time you take her out

I’ve been around the block

And I know what’s 'round the corner

Choose your words wisely

Cause you can’t take 'em back

Once they’ve broken someone’s heart

Just because your friend does

Doesn’t mean you have to

It’s what sets the two of you apart

Don’t pretend to know it all

When you don’t know a thing

And know your way around it

Before you throw your hat into the rain

And don’t commit to something

If you can’t follow through

And your past will always catch up with you

Always call your mama

When you say you going to

While she’s still here for you to call

And don’t forget the man upstairs

In your darkest hour

He’s a pick me up every time you fall

I’ve been around the block

Enough to know what’s around the corner

What’s around the corner
