Order Me an Iced Tea

Mom and dad, how are you?

How's Coop, did he go to school?

I know he was fighting with the flu, is he okay?

And I'm sorry my calls won't go through

If I'm honest, I'm feeling kind of blue

Could you bring me home from school real soon for a few days?

And boy oh boy I miss you with all my heart

It feels different now, a different house

But it's not a home cause I'm here without

My parents, twin, and

Older brother, Bishop, who I miss cause he's grown now

And the home-sick bug has gone around

My cure is home so I'm homebound

With my people around I'll sleep alright, not a sound

Could I meet you all for dinner?

Yeah

I hit some traffic on the road but I swear I'm getting close

I don't think I'll have time to eat

So order me an iced tea If you don't mind cause I'm behind

But I would love to catch up if you've got some free time

Don't you realize I miss you guys?

Coming home is always like winning a free prize

Yeah yeah yeah oh mm ooh

Write a song about a drink, kinda weird I mean who would think

To be waltzing to a song which seems crazy?

Pour a glass, have a laugh, happy hearts as the minutes pass

Not a worry in sight I think maybe

I'll refill and we will just smile

Sweet tooth, the real truth, I'm getting sad just to be here

Cause when I leave I'll feel so alone I know

Final sip, reminisce, plan a time to get back to this

Cause there's no place that's better than home

Even if it's just once in a while

I hit some

Traffic on the road but I swear I'm getting close

I don't think I'll have time to eat

So order me an iced tea If you don't mind cause I'm behind

But I would love to catch up if you've got some free time

Don't you realize I miss you guys?

Coming home is always like winning a free prize

Growing up's not great, would you mind, oh

If sometimes I could stay near you guys? Oh

And could we please stay in touch through all our lives?

Cause I'd be lost without our time

Iced tea's not super great for me

I know I should probably switch to water

But my memories get tied up in that drink

Reminds me of family jokes of Arnold Palmers

(We can't say it right)

Iced tea's not super great for me

I know I should probably switch to water

But my memories get tied up in that drink

Reminds me of California with my brothers

(You will not touch me no you will not)

Iced tea's not super great for me

I know I should probably switch to water

But my memories get tied up in that drink

Reminds me of morning adventures with my mother

(Half hour drive for nachos at 10:00 A.M.)

Iced tea's not super great for me

I know I should probably switch to water

But my memories get tied up in that drink

Reminds me of talking big dreams with my father

(He's really why I write these songs)

I'll take the traffic on the road over never coming home

I'll be okay as long as we meet

To catch up over iced tea
