Larger Than Life

(album: Friday Nights & Sunday Mornings - 2010)

2:21 pm was when I got the call
It was my momma on the other line
And she started to ball
Said son, your daddy was taken away today
There wasn't no way to save him oh it must have been gods way
But please drive home safely there is nothing you can do
Daddy's up in heaven and hes watching over you

Yea he was taken home by gods dear grace
Cause the treatments he was about to face
Would have laid him down and made his life to him a living hell
Yeah he loved his kids and loved his wife
Had a bucket list, checked each thing twice
He was everything to everyone yea he was my hero
Dad you were larger than life

Dad he was always my very best friend
And I want so bad to talk to him, yeah I'm struggling again
And he could always fix my heart, there in lonely times like now
But I know that he can hear my prayers, hes with JC smiling down
Were taking care of mama don't you worry about her
Well all see you soon enough, of that I know for sure

He was taken home by gods dear grace
Cause the treatments he was about to face
Would have laid him down and made his life to him a living hell
Yeah he loved his kids and loved his wife
Had a bucket list, checked each thing twice
He was everything to everyone yea he was my hero
Dad you were larger than life

I'm standing here just two months passed
And I'm talking to his stone
Wind picks up and hits my face
I hear my dad say son I'm home

He was taken home by gods dear grace
Cause the treatments he was about to face
Would have laid him down and made his life to him a living hell
Yeah he loved his kids and loved his wife
Had a bucket list, checked each thing twice
He was everything to everyone yea he was my hero
Dad you were larger than life

Larger than life
