Yeah, Colton, he turned eight years old, three very short long weeks ago
And just how long he'll be around, the doctors, they don't even know
A Nerf ball, football, in the yard, daddy throws it easy 'cause walkin's hard
Sometimes for living there ain't no cure, and tomorrow damn sure ain't for sure
So what do you say

Let's have a good day, yeah



So way down south from Mexico ran a barefoot boy, skin and bones

A mission group from the States came through to hand out clothes and build a school

Someone gave that kid some bread, he didn't keep it for himself instead

He broke that piece, too small for one, and gave both to his brothers some



So what do you say, yeah

Let's have a good day

I'm gonna hold my kids a little stronger

I'm gonna kiss my wife a little longer



Well, Kenny, he's a fearless man, he lost his eyesight in a hand

Standing up for his Uncle Sam, fighting in that desert sand

His wife and kids still struggle when he has those nightmares now and then

He swears even if they never end he would do it all again



So what do you say

Let's have a good day



Yeah, Colton, he was only eight, said he saw angels, couldn't wait

To fly him home to a better place, with a smile on his face he said



What do you say

Fly me away

Let's have a good day

Let's have a good day, oh

Oh, let's have a good day

Let's have a good day
