(Verse 1: Snak)

That’s the

Last time that we spoke on the phone

I know that you’re gone

But I hope that you know

You’ve taught me some shit that ill never let go

You’re a part of me now and I hope that it shows

Every time that I happen to see my reflection

It’s you staring back from the other direction

Just thinkin' about all the love and affection you had in the end

We both had a connection

Your strength was enormous

You fought like a vet

But the cancer just spread from your lung to your head

Went from laughing and fishing to soaking in sweat

From hopeful remission to broken in bed

I think about you everyday that you’re gone

I hope you can hear me I’m prayin' to God

I know that its over but saying i’ts hard

Til I see you again you remain in my heart

(Hook: Snak)

You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it

Everything reminds me of you I’m just trying to get through it now

I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling

We got Freebird on the stereo and every window open for you (x2)

(Verse 2: Snak)

The last couple months you were going through hell

You said you were good but you knew I could tell

The treatments were pointless, the tumors excelled

Minute by minute just losing your health

You worked your whole life, just to retire

Spend your days at the lake

Drinking beers by the fire

But that never happened that dream would expire

The minute they had you all up in them wires

Thinking about it, it’s hard to describe

That night at the hospital part of me died

You looked at your daughter and started to cry

'Cause you knew it was harder on her than the guys

You taught me that I gotta do what it takes

Enjoy every minute don’t put it to waste

When your heart finally stopped, the look on your face

That’s a memory I wish that I could erase

(Hook: Snak)

You had a heart of gold and everybody knew it

Everything reminds me of you I’m just trying to get though it

I got your ashes in the truck and we just rolling

We got Freebird on the stereo And every window open for you (x2)

(Verse 3: Snak)

I’m stuck and don’t know what to do in this mess

I’m constantly angry and stewing in stress

It’s part of my mind that I’m losing I guess

This shit ain’t that easy I’m doing my best

I think about you when I’m sitting at home

When I’m pouring a drink and I’m twisting a bone

It fucks with my head, makes me sick in the dome

That you’ll never see me have some kids of my own

Didn’t know it before but I’m starting to see

The apple ain’t fallen that far from the tree

Becoming the man that you taught me to be

I wonder if you’re out there talking to me

There’s so many words that I’m trying to get out of me

Wish i was happy but I don’t know how to be

Told me to kill it when everyone doubted me

Father I love you I hope that you’re proud of me
