[00:29.83] That's the
[00:30.68] Last time that we spoke on the phone
[00:32.25] I know that you're gone
[00:33.29] But I hope that you know
[00:34.44] You've taught me some shit that ill never let go
[00:36.60] You're a part of me now and I hope that it shows
[00:38.77] Every time that I happen to see my reflection
[00:40.98] It's you staring back from the other direction
[00:43.88] Just thinkin' about all the love and affection you had in the end
[00:47.00] We both had a connection
[00:48.23] Your strength was enormous
[00:49.47] You fought like a vet
[00:50.46] But the cancer just spread from your lung to your head
[00:52.56] Went from laughing and fishing to soaking in sweat
[00:54.71] From hopeful remission to broken in bed
[00:56.84] I think about you everyday that you're gone
[00:59.02] I hope you can hear me I'm prayin' to God
[01:01.37] I know that its over but saying i'ts hard
[01:03.51] Til I see you again you remain in my heart
[01:06.45] (Hook: Snak)
[01:14.68] You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
[01:18.43] Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get through it now
[01:23.49] I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
[01:26.95] We got Freebird on the stereo and every window open for you
[01:32.26] You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
[01:35.81] Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get through it now
[01:40.88] I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
[01:44.57] We got Freebird on the stereo and every window open for you
[01:49.29] The last couple months you were going through hell
[01:51.51] You said you were good but you knew I could tell
[01:53.60] The treatments were pointless, the tumors excelled
[01:56.22] Minute by minute just losing your health
[01:58.19] You worked your whole life, just to retire
[02:00.46] Spend your days at the lake
[02:01.22] Drinking beers by the fire
[02:02.43] But that never happened that dream would expire
[02:04.65] The minute they had you all up in them wires
[02:06.90] Thinking about it, it's hard to describe
[02:09.11] That night at the hospital part of me died
[02:11.24] You looked at your daughter and started to cry
[02:13.20] 'Cause you knew it was harder on her than the guys
[02:15.54] You taught me that I gotta do what it takes
[02:17.42] Enjoy every minute don't put it to waste
[02:19.87] When your heart finally stopped, the look on your face
[02:21.91] That's a memory I wish that I could erase
[02:31.33] (Hook: Snak)
[02:33.23] You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
[02:36.93] Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get though it
[02:42.11] I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
[02:45.64] We got Freebird on the stereo And every window open for you
[02:50.78] You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
[02:54.40] Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get though it
[02:59.58] I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
[03:03.18] We got Freebird on the stereo And every window open for you
[03:07.85] I'm stuck and don't know what to do in this mess
[03:10.04] I'm constantly angry and stewing in stress
[03:12.29] It's part of my mind that I'm losing I guess
[03:14.44] This shit ain't that easy I'm doing my best
[03:16.61] I think about you when I'm sitting at home
[03:18.69] When I'm pouring a drink and I'm twisting a bone
[03:20.75] It fucks with my head, makes me sick in the dome
[03:23.02] That you'll never see me have some kids of my own
[03:25.42] Didn't know it before but I'm starting to see
[03:27.64] The apple ain't fallen that far from the tree
[03:29.88] Becoming the man that you taught me to be
[03:31.74] I wonder if you're out there talking to me
[03:33.98] There's so many words that I'm trying to get out of me
[03:36.34] Wish i was happy but I don't know how to be
[03:38.54] Told me to kill it when everyone doubted me
[03:40.89] Father I love you I hope that you're proud of me
[03:43.69] (Voicemail)
[04:00.35] (Hook: Snak)
[04:00.74] You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it
[04:04.21] Everything reminds me of you I'm just trying to get though it
[04:09.33] I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling
[04:12.86] We got Freebird on the stereo And every window open for you
