Summer day 7 years old and I took a ride on my bicycle

A backpack full of my favorite toys

Deep inside this Texas heart there’s an innocence underneath the scars
G(1)                           G(2)
Waiting to be called outside to play
G(1)                             G(2)
Wanna feel like a wide eyed kid, wanna put it all back into perspective
G(1)                                   G(2)
God You're great just because You're great
