Checking In

[Verse 1: Lee Brice]

"Hey there son, it's dad again

I know you're busy, I'm just checking in

Just call me later if you get a chance

I don't want nothing, I'm just wondering how you've been"

[Chorus: Lee Brice]

There's no telling how many times I've let that message play

He's been gone a while but it still feels like yesterday

I even call him back sometimes

Wishing he'd pick up again

And I've got a lot more to say these days than I did back then

Hey dad it's me, checking in

[Verse 2: Luke Smallbone, Luke and Joel Smallbone]

I'm doing alright, work's been a little hard

But don't worry, I told mom I'd be by to cut the yard

Thesе kids are good, yeah you should be proud

I probably should lеt you go, I'm just missing you right now

[Chorus: Luke and Joel Smallbone]

There's no telling how many times I've let that message play

He's been gone a while but it still feels like yesterday

I even call him back sometimes

Wishing he'd pick up again

I've got a lot more to say these days than I did back then

Hey dad it's me, checking in

[Post-Chorus: Joel Smallbone]

Ooh, I'm just checking in

[Bridge: Lee Brice, Lee Brice, Luke Smallbone and Joel Smallbone]

There's no telling how many times I've let that message play

He's been gone a while but it still feels like yesterday

I even call him back sometimes

Wishing he'd pick up again

And I've got a lot more to say these days than I did back then

Yeah I've got a lot more to say these days than I did back then

Hey dad it's me, checking in

[Post-Chorus: Joel Smallbone, Lee Brice, Luke Smallbone]

Checking in

I'm just checking in

Checking in, checking in

[Outro: Lee Brice]

"Hey there son, it's dad again

I know you're busy, I'm just checking in"
