The Boy at Whitie's Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer days and fishing line A bait shop counter, Georgia pine Two kids with nothing but a dream And pockets empty at the seams But something in those eyes would shine Like the sun on the water, every time [Chorus] Here's to the man who never quit Who built it all up bit by bit From nothing much to everything Big Buck, you're the reason that we sing Happy birthday, raise it high Seventy-five and still on fire tonight [Verse 2] I walked in with my Dad that day Dad West was leading us the way You stood behind that Whitie's door Just a boy, but something more We didn't know what life would bring Two broke kids with everything [Chorus] Here's to the man who never quit Who built it all up bit by bit From nothing much to everything Big Buck, you're the reason that we sing Happy birthday, raise it high Seventy-five and still on fire tonight [Bridge] Thirteen years you held that crown The biggest record Texas found They wrote your name across the state Ken Watson, born to be great [Verse 3] Remember when we figured out Dad West connected us no doubt We laughed like heaven wrote the plan Turned a boy into my man Through hard work and stubborn will We exceeded every hill Now I'm standing by your side My Big Buck, my joy, my pride [Chorus] Here's to the man who never quit Who built it all up bit by bit From nothing much to everything Big Buck, you're the reason that we sing Happy birthday, raise it high Seventy-five and still on fire tonight [Outro] So blow the candles out, my love Ken Watson, you're my stars above Still that boy from the bait shop door And I love you more and more
