Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Dear God, I know we don’t talk much I ain’t been down on my knees I don’t show up every Sunday Where the good folks go to preach But tonight I’m writing You a letter With whiskey tears on this page There’s a hole inside my heart, Lord That’s been there seven years Pre-Chorus I know heaven ain’t a motel Where souls can check in and out But if grace is what You’re made of Maybe You could hear me out Chorus Can I borrow my dad from heaven Just for twenty-four hours or so I got things I never told him And some things he should know I’d hug him like a little kid Like I did back in the day I know heaven needs him more than me But could I borrow him… one day Verse 2 I’d tell him I’m still trying To be the man he raised Sometimes life gets heavy And I stumble on my way I’d say I’m sorry for the hard times For the nights I made him mad And I’d thank him for every lesson Only a father could’ve had Pre-Chorus Seven years keeps passing But the pain don’t fade away Feels like yesterday I lost him When they laid him in that grave Chorus Can I borrow my dad from heaven Just for twenty-four hours or so I got things I never told him And some things he should know I’d hug him like a little kid Like I did back in the day I know heaven needs him more than me But could I borrow him… one day Bridge And God I know I’m far from perfect I cuss and I lose my way And I don’t sit inside a church house Every single Sunday But that don’t mean I don’t love You Or believe You’re up above So if You’re reading this letter Send my dad all my love Final Chorus (bigger) Can I borrow my dad from heaven Even if it’s just a dream Just to hear him say he’s proud of me Like he used to say to me I’d hold him just a little longer Before he fades away God I swear I’d give him right back If I could have him one day Outro So I’ll fold up this letter And send it up with this prayer If You can’t send him back, Lord… Just tell him I still care.
