Hey bud, I haven't heard from you for a couple days I was really hoping to catch you before your show Everybody's missing you, but we're all so proud of you It's been really hot here this week You're lucky enough to be missing out on bailing hay I'm sure your dad and grandpa would have loved to have your help Anyway, have a great show, and please just give me a call when you can I'll always love you more
When days were bright, and I was young You'd talk to me and say, "Hey, my son The world only gets colder as you age" Now so many nights have led me here Thinking 'bout the thing I feel And when'll I finally get some fuckin' rest? And just like whiskey going down My throat burns just to speak out loud Why can I not clear my own damn head?
But I'm alright, I'm okay I will always be the man you raised I know it's hard on the darkest days But the moon could never steal your son away Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh All my love is set in stone Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa, oh, oh And if I die, you get my throne
I'm sorry for the time I spent On my own in this trench I know it kills you that I am alone But the boys out here won't let me die And if it was my final night I'd talk to you until I could not speak Then with minutes left, I'd crack a joke Tell you 'bout the songs I wrote And pray that they live long after my time
But I'm alright, I'm okay I will always be the man you raised I know it's hard in the darkest days But the moon will never steal your son away Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh All my love is set in stone Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa, oh, oh And if I die, you get my throne
'Cause I'm alright, I'm okay I will always be the man you raised I know it's hard on the darkest days But the moon could never steal your son away Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh All my love is set in stone Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa, oh, oh And if I die, you get my throne
