[Verse 1] You just had a birthday for eighty one So many years are over and done Battles fought and sometimes won But you just kept on moving on [Verse 2] Memories come and go for you As for the rest of us they do You faced the fire and walked right through There isn't much that makes you blue [Pre-Chorus] Though many years come and go You're the strongest man I know Always the first to give it a go In your world, there's no such word as no [Chorus] You've walked the miles, and lived the years You've had the laughter, the battles and tears You faced the fire and walked right through They just don't make them quite like you Yeah they just don't make them quite like you [Bridge] You never asked for any thanks For all the roads you had to pave You gave your best to all of us With every single thing you gave The world is better for your miles And the stepping stones you laid [Final Chorus] You've walked the miles, and lived the years You've had the laughter, the battles and tears You faced the fire and walked right through They just don't make them quite like you Yeah they just don't make them quite like you [Outro] Yes eighty one years have gone But your legacy will always live on
