The things you taught me just a little while
Would've taken me a hundred years
I can't imagine travelin' these miles
Without somebody like you here
I remember the places that we've been
The little things we used to do
Looking back now that's when I began
To realize that I'm a lot like you
Friends and family help to pass the time
I'm thumbing through pictures of you
Feelin' lonesome, missin' you and cryin'
That's not what you'd want me to do
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
But I didn't know it was gonna be today
No, I didn't know it was gonna be today
Would've taken me a hundred years
I can't imagine travelin' these miles
Without somebody like you here
I remember the places that we've been
The little things we used to do
Looking back now that's when I began
To realize that I'm a lot like you
Friends and family help to pass the time
I'm thumbing through pictures of you
Feelin' lonesome, missin' you and cryin'
That's not what you'd want me to do
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
But I didn't know it was gonna be today
No, I didn't know it was gonna be today
There ain't a lot that you can do in this town
You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around
You go to school and you learn to read and write
So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life
Now I work at the fillin' station on the interstate
I'm pumpin' gasoline and countin' out of state plates
They ask me, "How far into Memphis son, and where's the nearest beer?"
And they don't even know that there's a town around here
Now my brother went to college 'cause he played football
But I'm still hangin' round 'cause I'm a little bit small
But I got me a '67 Chevy, she's low and sleek and black
Someday I'll put her on that interstate and never look back
Someday I'm finally gonna let go
'Cause I know there's a better way
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow
I'm gonna get out of here someday
I'm gonna get out of here someday, someday, someday
Letting Go
of
Too Much
All at Once
Like before
and now AGAIN...
I am the fortunate one.
Thank you.
I am forever in your debt
and always trying to
pay it forward.
Someday I'm finally gonna let go
is history now.
I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, "let's go"
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, "let's go"

My old friend, this song's for you
Cause a few simple verses
Was the least that I could do
To tell the world that you were here
Cause the love and the laughter
Will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears
We'll meet again, my old friend
That will be an Awesome Day!
Thanks to the Anonymous who understand...
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again
You will have to sing this when I see you again!
I'll see you someday. I am thankful for the years of friendship and wisdom. Here or the afterlife well be together once again...
Leting go hard my dear friend
