I miss you dee-dad

Verse 1: The Cotton Belt LineEarly morning fog on the iron trackCotton Belt engine, and he's heading backBig strong hands on the heavy steel wheelDriving those trains with a heart so realArkansas hills in the golden lightHe worked all day and he made things rightChorus: A Good Man's RideOh, sing a song for the engineerThe kindest soul that we held so dearHe loved his family, he loved his homeNow he’s the captain where angels roamFrom the railroad tracks to the skies aboveSurrounded now by the ones he lovedVerse 2: Simple PleasuresSaturdays tuned to the purple and goldCheering the Tigers, brave and boldSunday afternoons by the quiet lakeWaiting for fish with a piece of cake—Sweet cherry cheesecake, his favorite treatSitting on the porch with a smile so sweetBridge: Never Giving UpWhen the load was heavy and the grade was steepHe kept his promises and vows to keepNever gave up, no matter the strainHe pulled us through like a mighty train
