Sand In Our Toes

I remember
Way back when
Trips to sunny states
Big family visits
Smiles all around
And us kids loved Disneyland

Gettin up at 6 am
Our work was never done
Oh, but we had lots of fun
We loved God and friends
Sure, we had cross words
But we all made up in the end

There was sand between our toes
There were tears and bloody noses
Rides in the back of pickup trucks
Lessons learned and
Love that was earned and
Broken hearts and broken bones
There was sand between our toes
There were tears and bloody noses
Rides in the back of pickup trucks
Lessons learned and
Love that was earned and
There was sand between our toes

Just think for a minute or two
About me and you
And the times we're from
And the things we've done
Our life is a tapestry
Of beauty made by you and me

I remember fishing trips
With Dad and Grandpa Jon
I had a dog and I had chores
We learned respect and responsibility
No one had cell phones
We all had back bones

There was sand between our toes
There were tears and bloody noses
Rides in the back of pickup trucks
Lessons learned and
Love that was earned and
Broken hearts and broken bones
There was sand between our toes
There were tears and bloody noses
Rides in the back of pickup trucks
Lessons learned and
Love that was earned and
There was sand between our toes
