[Verse]
Last breath in a room too cold to cry
Heart heavy, but the clock won't lie
Hospital walls, shadows leanin' in
Lost my anchor, now the waves begin
[Chorus]
Goodbye, old man, it cuts like steel
You ain't here, but your lessons still feel real
Goodbye, old man, your voice still rides the wind
Miss the talks I hated, now I’d take ‘em back again
[Verse 2]
Used to tune you out, sittin' cross the table
Now I’m wishin' for stories from your fable
Made me strong, though I pushed and shoved
Rough hands taught me how to show love
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar you had, a map I’d read
Every word you spoke, a planted seed
[Chorus]
Goodbye, old man, it cuts like steel
You ain't here, but your lessons still feel real
Goodbye, old man, your voice still rides the wind
Miss the talks I hated, now I’d take ‘em back again
[Bridge]
Whiskey on the counter, toast to you
Every hard road, you walked it through
Cigarette smoke, your ghost in the haze
Still hear your laugh in the summer blaze
