Lyrics

[Verse]
Kenton
My boy
With the grass on your shoes
Controller in hand
Screen-shielded views
Your room tells stories
Of battles hard-won
But it smells like wars that ain't ever been done

[Chorus]
Oh Kenton
Kenton
Child of mine
Mowing the lawn
Where the clovers align
Your odor
Oh son
It's a force to be strong
But we love you the same
Through the smell and the pong

[Verse 2]
Your joystick speaks louder than words from your tongue
A digital soldier
Forever so young
Yet out on the grass
Your freedom takes flight
Revving the mower 'til the world feels right

[Chorus]
Oh Kenton
Kenton
Child of mine
Mowing the lawn
Where the clovers align
Your odor
Oh son
It's a force to be strong
But we love you the same
Through the smell and the pong

[Bridge]
Sweat from the battle
Both pixel and dirt
With chips in your hand
On your favorite shirt
You're growing so fast
But the scent stays behind
A mark of the teen years
Both cruel and kind

[Verse 3]
Kenton
My lad
With a heart that's so pure
This phase
Like the lawn
Won't always endure
So mow down your doubts
Trim back the disdain
For beneath all the smells
Your worth will remain
