A Fathers Legacy

“A FATHER'S LEGACY”

VS. 1:
I Never Seen, My Father Cry,
In all My 40 Years
But A Proper Goodbye
Was Bottled Up
Behind My Tears
Through Battle Scars
That He Has Worn
On His Smokin Gun Face

The Battle Scars from Cancer
Had Taken Over This Masters Face

But With Dignity,
This Man I Loved
Had Given Us New Grace

He Was a Man on a Mission
Now Searching for
His Resting Place
CHORUS:
He Was a Man of Courage,
along for the Ride
He Wouldn't Complain a day in His Life

The Simple Things He Loved
Like Fishing, Hunting, to

He Made His Money
Through 16 Hour Shifts
His Word was Tried and Fireproof

The Job Would Get Done
He Stood for Good
In Anything That He Would Do

VS. 2
As My Little League Coach
He Could Toss the Ball
For that Perfect Alley-oop

He Taught Me How to Drive
Stay Between the Lines,
Both Hands at 9 and 2

And Women, He Said
Are More Special Than
You Will Ever Know

So Be Sure When You Find
That Special One
That You Tell Her So

CHORUS:
He Was a Man of Courage,
along for the Ride
He Wouldn't Complain a day in His Life

The Simple Things He Loved
Like Fishing, Hunting, to

He Made His Money
Through 16 Hour Shifts
His Word was Tried and Fireproof

The Job Would Get Done
He Stood for Good
In Anything That He Would Do

VS. 3:
It Was That Special Talk We Had
Down Our Long and Rough Dirt Road

Only Two Weeks Prior Too
His Journey Home
I Will Remember
That the Most

We Laughed So Much

And I Sang
A Song
I wrote
Myself Growing Up

For Just One Moment,
My Father Could Be
In That Place
Without Any Rust

His Wheelchair Became
His Front Row Seat
As So Many Concerts Before

Then The Master Applauded
Well Done He Said
Now It’s Time
For Me to Go Home

CHORUS:
He Was a Man of Courage,
along for the Ride
He Wouldn't Complain a day in His Life

The Simple Things He Loved
Like Fishing, Hunting, to

He Made His Money
Through 16 Hour Shifts
His Word was Tried and Fireproof

The Job Would Get Done
He Stood for Good
In Anything That He Would Do

Heavens Gates Received Him
The Masters Home

He Taught Us Much on Earth

So, Let’s Not Forget
The Love the He Showed
And Let’s Spread Some Cheer on Earth
