Rocket Science Lyrics

I was sitting on the porch, what seemed like a hundred years ago, waiting for my dad to

Come home

He said love was like a torch, you've got to light it on fire and watch it go, but you can never let it burn alone

You can buy a girl a ring, but it don't mean a thing, if you let that shine fade away

You can buy her a dozen roses, hard to see, just like roses, but these aren't the things that will make her stay

Ain't rocket science, take her hand and never let it go, tell her how you feel, tell her

You love her, always let her know, it ain't rocket science

Don't shout, whispers mean nothing's in her ear

You'll have good times, you'll have bad ones, just love her without fear, do all the little things, don't forget anything, every day, every year

It ain't rocket science, always, always, walk away her tears

Another day I was fixing my daughter's swing, I felt a nervous tap on my shoulder

I turned around and there my boy stood, Dad I've got a date, what should I bring

Life is getting harder as I get older, I give this girl the moon I only wish I could

You can buy her a necklace of gold, but no love can be sold

You gotta touch her in her heart, you can pick out a vase of flowers, but you gotta put in the hours, let me tell you where you should start

It ain't rocket science, take her hand and never let it go, tell her how you feel, tell her you love her, always let her know, it ain't rocket science

Don't shout, whispers mean nothing's in her ear

You'll have good times, you'll have bad ones, just love her without fear, do all the little

Things, don't forget anything, every day, every year

It ain't rocket science, always, let me always, walk away her tears

I was called home on some very bad news, my heart bled as I slowly walked up those steps

I sat next to my dad in that old rocking chair

Sometimes in life we live ain't what we choose, but he lived his own advice, promises he kept

He closed his eyes, I could tell he wasn't there

You can buy them a fancy car, but always be who you are

But when you go away, don't you ever stay gone, you can buy her diamonds and pearls to remind her she's your girl

But there's nothing you can do when the good Lord calls her home

It ain't rocket science, take her hand and never let it go, tell her how you feel, tell her you love her, always let her know, it ain't rocket science

Don't shout, whisper sweet nothings in her ear

You have good times, you have bad ones, just love her without fear, do all the little things don't forget anything, every day, every year

It ain't rocket science, always, let me always, walk away her tears
