[Intro] [Soft acoustic guitar and pedal steel] [Verse 1] Sunday after service when the lot cleared out He'd toss me the keys to that '94 Ford Said, "Ease off the clutch like you're letting go slow" I stalled it six times and he never got bored Light poles for cones and the chapel for a backstop His hand on the dash when I took the turn wide Laughing, "You'll get it," and I did, eventually With my daddy riding on the passenger side [Chorus] Now it's still on the station he always played Old songs and the farm report, static in the rain I could find something better, I could turn it up loud But he was the last one to set it, so I don't touch it now I just leave it right where he left it Let it play like he's riding with me Yeah, it's still on his station Right where it's supposed to be [Verse 2] We laid him down last spring when the dogwoods bloomed Mama pressed the keys in my hand at the door His sunglasses still tucked up in the visor A feed store receipt lying on the floor The seat's still worn in the shape of a working man The tailgate's dented and I won't get it fixed Some days I just sit there with the engine running Feeling closer to him than I've felt since [Chorus] And it's still on the station he always played Old songs and the farm report, static in the rain I could find something better, I could turn it up loud But he was the last one to set it, so I don't touch it now I just leave it right where he left it Let it play like he's riding with me Yeah, it's still on his station Right where it's supposed to be [Bridge] [Stripped down, quiet] He said, "You're gonna stall, everybody does Ain't no shame in a stop and a start Just turn the key, give it a little gas And trust what you learned by heart" Lord, I'm stalling now Lord, I'm stalling now But I'm turning the key [Final Chorus] [Full band, emotional build] So it's still on the station he always played Old songs and the farm report, static in the rain And someday I'll be sitting in that church lot With a kid of my own behind the wheel Saying, "Ease off the clutch," and I'll hear him Clear as Sunday, clear as anything's real And it'll still be on his station Right where it's supposed to be [Outro] [Pedal steel fades out] Right where he left it Right where it's supposed to be
