[Verse 2]
He’d blow up his TV, and just sit out in the yard,
Drift through mindless chatter, straight up to the stars,
Standing by peaceful waters where the silence runs deep,
There’s a hole in Daddy’s heart, and it’s where he keeps his grief.

[Chorus]
Ya’ know that ole trees just grow stronger with time,
But Daddy’s heart is weathered, bearing the lines,
Say hello in there, to the echoes left behind,
In a song wrapped in sorrow, the loss is yours and mine.

[Bridge]
He remembers when the laughter used to fill the air,
Before life dealt him the load too heavy to bear,
Now he walks through the shadows of dreams once so bright,
With every note he strums, wishing for a little light.

[Verse 3]
There’s a picture on the mantel, of days that used to be,
A love that once was tender, now a haunting memory,
He reaches for the past, in the chords of an old tune,
Singin’ to a silent friend.

[Verse 4]
In the quiet of the evening, when the world slows its gears,
He reflects on all the moments, spanning from his many years.
For the love and loss of laughter, from the stories that he’d shared,
They heard the tales he accidentally told, those little pitchers with big ears.

[Verse 5]
He’d blow up his TV, and just sit in the yard,
Drift through mindless chatter, straight up to the stars,
Standing by peaceful waters where the silence runs deep,
There’s a hole in Daddy’s heart, and it’s where he keeps his grief.

[Final Line]
He remembers when the laughter used to fill the air,
Before life dealt him the load too heavy to bear,
Say hello in there, to the echoes left behind,
In a song wrapped in sorrow, for our loss of John Prine.

[Verse 1] In a house up on the hill, where memories often lie, Daddy’s heart was strong, but now he’s just gettin’ by, Through broken hearts and dirty windows, he stares out all alone, With his old guitar, singin’ to those winds he’s always known. [Verse 2] He’d blow up his TV, and just sit out in the yard, Drift through mindless chatter, straight up to the stars, Standing by peaceful waters where the silence runs deep, There’s a hole in Daddy’s heart, and it’s where he keeps his grief. [Chorus] Ya’ know that ole trees just grow stronger with time, But Daddy’s heart is weathered, bearing the lines, Say hello in there, to the echoes left behind, In a song wrapped in sorrow, the loss is yours and mine.
