Lyrics

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming, light percussion]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
My daddy was a God-fearing man
He worked with little much to say
But the best thing my daddy ever told me [bass and drums enter]
Was son, pay it forward every day

[Verse 2]
Whenever I would ask, why did you do that?
He'd say, don't worry, I'll get it back someday
You'll understand these things in the future
Just pay it forward every day

[Chorus]
[clean electric guitar fills]
It's you that will receive a blessing
Do what I ask, he would say
It doesn't cost a thing to show kindness
Just pay it forward every day

[Solo]
[harmonica solo over acoustic guitar and steady rhythm section]

[Verse 3]
It never hurts to lend a helping hand
Don't expect a payment, he would say
You'll feel better when you do it
Just pay it forward every day

[Chorus]
It's you that will receive a blessing
Do what I ask, he would say
It doesn't cost a thing to show kindness
Just pay it forward every day

[Outro]
Just pay it forward every day
Just pay it forward every day
[acoustic guitar and harmonica fade out]
