Jacob Lyrics

There you go Jacob

Back from the grove

Where thousands of oranges

And you alone

Spent every weekend

Getting to know each other

Too much for one man

To ever get done

So once he turned 10

You went down with your son

Spent every weekend

Getting to know each other

Ooo

And you'll carry him on your shoulders

Ooo

And you'll carry him

There you go Jacob

Son in the field

And under his fingernails

Bright orange peel

Cause he couldn't help it

The taste was so sweet

All afternoon playing

Hide and go seek

And sharing a laugh with

The boy of 14

Cause you couldn't help it

The taste was so sweet

Ooo

And you'll carry him on your shoulders

Ooo

And you'll carry him

There you go Jacob

Back to the start,

49 years

Were too much for your heart

You planted it deep

There the orange grove

Just like a willow that

Loses its bark

17 years

And his daddy departs

And all he's got left

Are bright orange fingernails

Ooo

And he'll carry you on his shoulders

Ooo

And he'll carry you

Ooo

And he'll carry you on his shoulders

Ooo

And he'll carry you

Ooo
