Pop's made up the difference
To get my first truck lifted
So I could be the kid picking up
The girl way outta my league
And my high school history teacher
Was a someday me believer
Kept me on the field and off the bleachers
Turnin' that F into a C
How I got here
Wasn't cause of me

I've been lent some hands and
Pulled out of some ruts
Been given second chances
Lost count of spotted bucks
Lookin' back on my days
My road was paved with heads up sidewalk quarters
I could never pay it back
But I can pay it forward

Whether it's money or forgiveness
A prayer that need some sendin'
Just some time well spent fixin'
Up the neighbors fence or flat
I'd give the shirt back off my back cause

I've been lent some hands and
Pulled out of some ruts
Been given second chances
Lost count of spotted bucks
Lookin' back on my days
My road was paved with heads up sidewalk quarters
I could never pay it back
But I can pay it forward

Like they all did before me
With no strings attached
A little goes a long way
Don't I know that

I've been lent some hands and
Pulled out of some ruts
Been given second chances
Lost count of spotted bucks
Lookin' back on my days
My road was paved with heads up sidewalk quarters
I could never pay it back
But I can pay it forward
Pay it forward
