  • I put a fishing rod by your bed
    Right next to a Bible
    I leaned a guitar in the corner of your room
    With some Milsap on vinyl
    I figured the best thing I could do
    Was put a thing or two
    And that it wouldn't hurt to have in your way, on your path

    Hoping you might pick it up one day
    And you might learn a couple pretty cool things
    That I love to do
    Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you
    I don't know what you gonna be
    But I hope you smile when you think of me
    'Cause I helped make you
    But I didn't never try to make you pick it up
    You just pick it up, pick it up

    Early to rise, headin' to work
    Open a door for a stranger
    Yes sir, yes madam, red dirt on my hands
    Showing you the best way I can

    So you might pick it up one day
    And you might learn a couple pretty cool things
    That I love to do
    Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you
    I don't know what you gonna be
    But I hope you smile when you think of me
    'Cause I helped make you
    But I didn't never try to make you pick it up
    Yeah, you just pick it up

    Dancing and kissing your Mama in the kitchen
    Treatin' her like a princess, hoping you might pick it up one day
    Hoping you might learn a couple pretty cool things
    That I love to do
    Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you
    I don't know what you gonna be
    But I hope you smile when you think of me
    'Cause I helped make you
    But I didn't never try to make you pick it up
    Yeah, you just pick it up, pick it up
    You just pick it up, pick it up, yeah

    I hope you pick it up
    You just pick it up Writer/s: LUKE BRYAN, MATT DRAGSTREM, RODNEY CLAWSON
