While He's Still Around

(album: Dig Your Roots - 2016)

While he's still around
I'm gonna take him out to fish
So we can catch up on those stories
That we ain't got to yet
And while he's still around
I'm gonna make a couple of notes
About how's love my mother
Since all those years ago

Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring
Saying heaven had it out to make you wings
And all those things that you were gonna do
Are just tear drops raining on a church pew
So I'm gonna try to say before I gotta pray it
Hoping that he's looking down
And tell him that I love him
While he's still around

While he's still around
We're gonna fix up that old car
So one day when it's all mine
He'll be there every time it starts
And while he's still around
I want to meet the one
Watch him try and hold them tears back
When I see him holding my son

Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring
Saying heaven had it out to make you wings
And all those things that you were gonna do
Are just tear drops raining on a church pew
So I'm gonna try to say before I gotta pray it
Hoping that he's looking down
And tell him that I love him
While he's still around

I'm gonna try and catch a game with him
Take a road trip, get on out of state with him
Thank every memory I can make with him
Live it up before it's too late with him

Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring
Saying heaven had it out to make you wings
And all those things that you were gonna do
Are just tear drops raining on a church pew
So I'm gonna try to say before I gotta pray it
Hoping that he's looking down
And tell him that I love him
While he's still around
