[Verse 1]
We buried him in late October
And I can still hear Poppy say my name
And sometimes I think he's talking to me
But I ain't seen that man in over three years
His voice don't get clearer, but his face does
Ain't it funny how that works, it's usually backwards?
His mind was gone for a while before he went
Sometimes I think he was the smartest of men
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I miss him like the trees miss the leaves
When the winter comes around
[Chorus]
I wish he was still here with us
I wish that old Ford still rode with him
I wish I could get out of this damn town
I wish the grass was still green
And I could be the man he sees in me
When I'm asleep
'Cause he was always lookin' down on me
[Verse 2]
It's an old F-150 '96
The best thing we have left of him
Everything on it is perfect like we need it
I remember it like it was yesterday driving me around the farm back in Dublin Lord I miss those days
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I miss him like the trees miss the leaves
When the winter comes around
[Chorus]
I wish he was still here with us
I wish that old Ford still rode with him
I wish I could get out of this damn town
I wish the grass was still green
And I could be the man he sees in me
When I'm asleep
'Cause he was always lookin' down on me
