[Intro]
Yeah…
Sometimes I still reach for the phone,
Just to hear your voice one more time.
Wish I could take one more ride with you.
This one hurts.
[Verse 1]
I been looking through these old photographs,
Dust on the frames, but the memories last.
Your old pickup parked out in the drive,
Back when I didn’t know good things could die.
You always had a joke when the days got rough,
Somehow your laugh always felt like enough.
You taught me stay strong when life gets hard,
Keep faith in my heart when it’s falling apart.
Late-night movie marathons on the couch,
Now the house feels different when I walk around.
I’d give anything just to hear you say,
“Kid, you’re gonna make it,” like you did back then.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every road I drive feels a little too long,
Every old country song just hits too strong.
I’d trade all this silence for one more year,
‘Cause every day’s a reminder—
[Chorus]
You should be here.
Telling those stories that I know by heart,
Making us laugh ‘til we fall apart.
One more long drive, windows down, no fear,
One more hug telling me everything’s clear.
Life keeps moving, but it don’t feel right,
Missing your voice every single night.
I’d give anything just to have you near.
Yeah, you should be here.
[Verse 2]
I still hear your wisdom when I’m feeling low,
Like somehow your spirit never really let go.
You taught me family ain’t about blood alone,
It’s the people who love you and make a house home.
There are moments I smile, then the pain hits hard,
Like seeing your old hat or your birthday card.
I wish you could see who I’m trying to be,
Every little success, every dream I achieve.
I got questions now that I can’t ask,
Trying to be strong while carrying this past.
But I know you’d tell me, “Don’t stay stuck in the rain,
Carry my love with you, don’t carry the pain.”
[Bridge]
So when the night gets heavy and the tears fall down,
I close my eyes and I swear you’re around.
In every sunset drive and every old movie scene,
You’re still the reason I believe.
[Chorus]
You should be here.
Cracking those jokes only you could tell,
Picking me up when my world fell.
One more long drive, windows down, no fear,
One more hug telling me everything’s clear.
Life keeps moving, but it don’t feel right,
Missing your voice every single night.
Until I see you again somewhere beyond these years—
You should be here.
[Outro]
And even though you’re gone, your love never disappeared.
I carry your lessons, your laughter, your heart.
So every mile I drive, every movie I watch, every dream I chase…
I save a seat for you.
’Cause deep down…
You should be here.
