Music and Lyrics: Matthew J Doughty

V1
Grandpa raised The Boy the best he could.
Books, Baths, and Bedtimes... like anybody would.
Being orphaned is a lonely way to grow... and he would know.
A young man will grow just like a weed
With Oreo's for breakfast and Baseball as a seed.
But nothin' lit up his eyes just like a star as Grandpa's red sports car.

CH
Early mornin' summer sunrise, comin' over the tree line.
Arm a wing out the window, Flyin' fast through the sunshine.
Looking back on his life now, any Happiness he felt,
All began in just one place, in The Click of a Seatbelt.

V2
Neither will forget their first drive.
That clean "Click" of the buckle, the chrome that shined.
And the greatest conversations of their lives came riding side by side.
Somehow, the years just came and went,
And no one could measure what those car rides meant.
The Boy'd become a man and he'd gone far driving racing cars.

CH
Early mornin' summer sunrise, comin' over the tree line.
Arm a wing out the window, Flyin' fast through the sunshine.
Looking back on his life now, any Happiness he felt,
All began in just one place, in The Click of a Seatbelt.

BR
One day occurred a "Click" inside, and they realized it'd been those belts
That'd bound their family throughout all of time.

CH
Early mornin' summer sunrise, comin' over the tree line.
Arm a wing out the window, Flyin' fast through the sunshine.
Looking back on his life now, any Happiness he felt,
All began in just one place, in The Click of a Seatbelt.
