Amen
Toree McGee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pile in the truck, load up the cooler,
Got the sunshine just for you.
Turn it on up, can I get an ooo ooo,
Really gonna sing me a country tune.
Feel that wind blow through my window,
River just up around the bend.
Thank the Lord for this beautiful day,
It's time to swim.

Sun's up, burning bright,
Got air to breathe, everything is alright,
Can I get an Amen?
Blue blue sky on the water,
Bless my soul and pass me another,
Can I get an Amen?

Rope swing swingin',
Horse shoes ringin',
And I'm feelin' alright.
Time don't tick tock down on the board dock,
soakin' up the daylight.
Gettin' hotter, jump in the water,
Lay on the bank and work a tan.
If you're having a good time, and lovin' this life,
Raise your hands.

Sun's up, burning bright,
Got air to breathe, everything is alright,
Can I get an Amen?
Blue blue sky on the water,
Bless my soul and pass me another,
Can I get an Amen?

The moon will rise, this day will end,
But until then, Amen.

Sun's up, burning bright,
Got air to breathe, everything is alright,
Can I get an Amen?
Blue blue sky on the water,
Bless my soul and pass me another,
Can I get an Amen?
Can I get an Amen?

Can I get an Amen?
Oooh, yeah.
