[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"
