Verse 1
He’s sittin’ on the front porch in that old cedar chair,
Sun settin’ soft on the lines that time put there.
Kids all grown with babies of their own,
This little farmhouse don’t feel much like home.
He ain’t complainin’, he’s just feelin’ that pull,
Where the sky’s wide open and the heart feels full.
Chorus
“Don’t you cry for me, my children,
I’ve had more than my share.
Your mama’s waitin’ up in Heaven,
I can almost see her there.
I’ve loved this life I’ve traveled,
But I ain’t afraid to go.
When the Good Lord calls me home…
Just let your daddy go.”
Verse 2
He talks to the pictures hangin’ on the wall,
Mama in her Sunday dress smilin’ through it all.
Thinks ’bout his mom and dad, and brothers gone before,
He can hear ’em laughin’ as he closes the door.
There’s a peace in his chest like a warm summer rain,
He’s ready for the healing, ready for no more pain.
Chorus
“Don’t you cry for me, my children,
I’ve lived a life true and strong.
Your mama’s waitin’ up in Heaven,
And I’ve been missin’ her too long.
You’ve made me proud forever,
More than you will ever know.
When the Good Lord calls me home…
Just let your daddy go.”
Bridge
He says, “Hold tight to each other,
Don’t let the hard times win.
Remember every story,
And tell ’em now and then.
I’ll be right up there watchin’,
Till the day you’re not alone…
And I’ll be the one to meet you
When it’s your time to come home.”
Final Chorus
“Don’t you cry for me, my children,
I’ll be waitin’ by Heaven’s gate.
Your mama’s standin’ right beside me,
Lord knows I can’t hardly wait.
Live your lives with love and laughter,
Let your country hearts stay strong.
When the Good Lord calls me home…
Just know I wasn’t gone for long.
