Verse 1
It's like he always said
Get a job, a good wife, a dog
And a truck
Pack a bag, take a pack, or two
Tank of gas, if your getting low
Son I always loved you
Even if you don't know
He was the wildest damn cowboy
I ever damn knew
Chorus
He knew how to fight stress, with love
How to fight tears, with talkin
How to fight sadness, tears and pain
Always made Me feel damn less stressed
Yeah the old man knew best
Verse 2
Never was much for dranking
Always was much, for thanking
About God, jesus, the moon
And the sun, how he knew how to raise
A son, like lil devil ol me
He knew how to fight stress, with love
How to fight tears, with talkin
How to fight sadness, tears and pain
Always made Me feel damn less stressed
Yeah the old man knew best
Verse 3
Taught us kids how to run like wild
Brought out my quick, ol inner child
Told us stories so wild and free
Sad to see we buried him under
That ol birch tree
And the tractor moves less quick
And dog ain't barking no more
Dad ain't there to control the property
And the farm don't function properly
He knew how to fight stress, with love
How to fight tears, with talkin
How to fight sadness, tears and pain
Always made Me feel damn less stressed
Yeah the old man knew best
Yeah
He knew how to fight stress, with love
How to fight tears, with talkin
How to fight sadness, tears and pain
Always made Me feel damn less stressed
Yeah the old man knew best
He knew how to fight stress, with love
How to fight tears, with talkin
How to fight sadness, tears and pain
Always made Me feel damn less stressed
Yeah the old man knew best
Cause the old man knew best
