Sixteen candles on the cake

He tossed that set of keys my way

Hopped in his old Chevrolet

Said, Take it slow

Past that Walmart hang a left

I slipped that clutch and held my breath

Cracked a smile and shook his head

And now I know

That bench-seat father-son advice

Was more than how to drive

Gave me the keys to life

Keep your big dreams in the windshield

Keep your heart on 10 and 2

Keep your wrong turns and your

mistakes way behind in that rear view

Call your mama just to catch up

Keep a few friends you can trust

For when more than just your wheels get stuck

Keep a Bible in the truck

Only God knows what's ahead

you're bound to get lost now and then

Best road maps are words in red, they'll lead you home

He told me, Don't be scared to pray

Don't stray from that King James

Don't ever lose your faith

Keep your big dreams in the windshield

Keep your heart on 10 and 2

Keep your wrong turns and your

mistakes way behind in that rear view

Call your mama just to catch up

Keep a few friends you can trust

For when more than just your wheels get stuck

Keep a Bible in the truck, oh

Keep a Bible in the truck

Keep it on the dashboard where you can reach it

So it's not too far when you need it

Keep your big dreams in the windshield

Keep your heart on 10 and 2

Keep your wrong turns and your

mistakes way behind in that rear view

Call your mama just to catch up

Keep a few friends you can trust

For when more than just your wheels get stuck

And the words you got just ain't enough

Keep a Bible in the truck

Keep a Bible in the truck

Sixteen candles on the cake

I'll toss those keys to Asher James

To that same old Chevrolet

Take it slow
