Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’d pull up grinning in that old red truck
Coffee in a thermos, bent Styrofoam cup
Said, “Come on kid, I’ll show you how it’s done”
From turning a wrench to throwing a line
Teaching me to drive by that county line sign
You laughed when I stalled, said, “Relax, we ain’t gotta run”
[Chorus]
Uncle, you raised me like I was your own
Put your big old hands on my shoulder, said, “You’re never alone”
Every bad day, every breakdown, you knew what to do
All that I am, I learned standing next to you
I miss you so much it hurts, but I know where you are
You’re up in heaven with your mom and dad
Watching over me from afar
[Verse 2]
You’d crack a bad joke at the worst right time
Turn my tears into a crooked smile
Say, “Life’s too short to stay mad, kid, let it go”
You showed me how to shake a man’s hand right
Say “yes ma’am,” “thank you,” kiss your folks goodnight
How to be brave when it’s hard to let someone know
[Chorus]
Uncle, you raised me like I was your own
Put your big old hands on my shoulder, said, “You’re never alone”
Every bad day, every breakdown, you knew what to do
All that I am, I learned standing next to you
I miss you so much it hurts, but I know where you are
You’re up in heaven with your mom and dad
Watching over me from afar
[Bridge]
I talk to you driving down that same dirt road (yeah)
Picture you laughing, saying, “Look how you’ve grown”
And I swear some nights when the stars shine through
I feel them, and you, and I just say “thank you”
[Chorus]
Uncle, you raised me like I was your own
Put your big old hands on my shoulder, said, “You’re never alone”
Every bad day, every breakdown, you knew what to do
All that I am, I learned standing next to you
I miss you so much, but I know where you are
You’re up in heaven with your mom and dad
Still teaching me, from afar
