[Verse 1] Mama hung socks on the line Blue sky through the pines I chased a tin spoon drum Down the porch step sun Bare feet, red dirt Knees all scraped and proud I thought the world was big But bigger was the crowd [Pre-Chorus] Then the school bus came Like a yellow train I held my lunchbox tight And I learned my name [Chorus] Hold on, hold on To the little things Tin spoon summer And the songs we sing Hold on, hold on While the brown years turn You don’t get back What your hands first learned [Verse 2] Grandpa cut the string bean rows With a knife worn smooth He said, "Slow down, boy There’s time to grow" I drew map lines in the dust To places I’d never been Back then every fence looked high Now I know what he meant [Pre-Chorus] Then the porch light glowed On a winter night I saw my mother’s face In the window light [Chorus] Hold on, hold on To the little things Tin spoon summer And the songs we sing Hold on, hold on While the brown years turn You don’t get back What your hands first learned [Bridge] Now I write my own name On the back of a check And the boy I was Still taps my neck In the screen door slam In the creek bank mud In the way I turn around When I hear that flood [Final Chorus] Hold on, hold on To the little things Tin spoon summer And the songs we sing Hold on, hold on While the brown years turn You don’t get back What your hands first learned Hold on, hold on Let the memories ring Tin spoon summer And the songs we sing
