Father: Bye bye
Snak: Bye Dad
That's the
Last time that we spoke on the phone
I know that you're gone
But I hope that you know
You've taught me some shit that ill never let go
You're a part of me now and I hope that it shows
Every time that I happen to see my reflection
It's you staring back from the other direction
Just thinkin' about all the love and affection you had in the end
We both had a connection
Your strength was enormous
You fought like a vet
But the cancer just spread from your lung to your head
Went from laughing and fishing to soaking in sweat
From hopeful remission to broken in bed
I think about you everyday that you're gone
I hope you can hear me I'm prayin' to God
I know that its over but saying i'ts hard
Til I see you again you remain in my heart
(Hook: Snak)
You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get through it now
I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
We got Freebird on the stereo and every window open for you
You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get through it now
I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
We got Freebird on the stereo and every window open for you
The last couple months you were going through hell
You said you were good but you knew I could tell
The treatments were pointless, the tumors excelled
Minute by minute just losing your health
You worked your whole life, just to retire
Spend your days at the lake
Drinking beers by the fire
But that never happened that dream would expire
The minute they had you all up in them wires
Thinking about it, it's hard to describe
That night at the hospital part of me died
You looked at your daughter and started to cry
'Cause you knew it was harder on her than the guys
You taught me that I gotta do what it takes
Enjoy every minute don't put it to waste
When your heart finally stopped, the look on your face
That's a memory I wish that I could erase
(Hook: Snak)
You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get though it
I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
We got Freebird on the stereo And every window open for you
You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get though it
I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
We got Freebird on the stereo And every window open for you
I'm stuck and don't know what to do in this mess
I'm constantly angry and stewing in stress
It's part of my mind that I'm losing I guess
This shit ain't that easy I'm doing my best
I think about you when I'm sitting at home
When I'm pouring a drink and I'm twisting a bone
It fucks with my head, makes me sick in the dome
That you'll never see me have some kids of my own
Didn't know it before but I'm starting to see
The apple ain't fallen that far from the tree
Becoming the man that you taught me to be
I wonder if you're out there talking to me
There's so many words that I'm trying to get out of me
Wish i was happy but I don't know how to be
Told me to kill it when everyone doubted me
Father I love you I hope that you're proud of me
