Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your boots still by the back door
Helmet on the hallway chair
Coffee stain on your old flannel
Like you just stepped out for air
I still hear that engine grumble
Every time the thunder rolls
Say you had to take a long road
I just pray it healed your bones
[Chorus]
Ride the quiet thunder
Through a sky that doesn’t hurt
Kick the stand up
Lean in closer
Leave the weight of all that burn
If you can hear me where you’re running
Past the stars
Past all this fear
Ride the quiet thunder
Dad
I hope it’s softer there
[Verse 2]
Nurses whispered in the half-light
Tubes and tape and tired eyes
You still tried to crack a bad joke
While the clock hands lied and lied
I held tight to every rattle
Counting every shallow breath
Begged the ceiling for a mercy
Something kinder than that bed
[Chorus]
Ride the quiet thunder
Through a sky that doesn’t hurt
Kick the stand up
Lean in closer
Leave the weight of all that burn
If you can hear me where you’re running
Past the stars
Past all this fear
Ride the quiet thunder
Dad
I hope it’s softer there
[Bridge]
I remember every Sunday
Grease and laughter on your hands
You said
“Kid
This life is heavy
But you ride it while you can” (while you can)
So I’ll raise this broken chorus
Like a glass with shaking pride
You were more than all that ending
You were every mile we tried
[Chorus]
Ride the quiet thunder
Through a sky that doesn’t hurt
Kick the stand up
Lean in closer
Leave the weight of all that burn
If you can hear me where you’re running
Past the stars
Past all this fear
Ride the quiet thunder
Dad
I hope it’s softer there
[Outro]
If there’s a long road over heaven
Take the curves for both of us
Leave a space beside your shadow
I’ll catch up when I’m done (oh-oh)
Ride the quiet thunder
Till the pain forgets your name
