[inspiring instrumental intro] ### Verse 1 In Roberts, Idaho, where we called home, Dad wore many hats, but his heart was always warm. A firefighter by day, soldier's pride in his eyes, The Teton Dam broke, and our world washed away. ### Chorus From rubble and water, we found a way to stand, Idaho Falls, new roots in this land. Dad showed me how to strip copper for a dime, Bought a horse with dreams, we rode through time. (Yeah, we rode through time) ### Verse 2 Prospecting for gold, just me and him, In the quiet of the mountains, life wasn't grim. He spoke few words, but his actions were loud, Respect your mother, son, and make me proud. ### Chorus From rubble and water, we found a way to stand, Idaho Falls, new roots in this land. Dad showed me how to strip copper for a dime, Bought a horse with dreams, we rode through time. (Yeah, we rode through time) ### Bridge Years went by, life’s winding road, Moved him to Kingman, in his golden mode. He passed on, but his spirit's here, In every breath, every tear. (Every breath, every tear) ### Chorus From rubble and water, we found a way to stand, Idaho Falls, new roots in this land. Dad showed me how to strip copper for a dime, Bought a horse with dreams, we rode through time. (Yeah, we rode through time) ### Outro Now I carry his torch, in my heart, in my stride, From Roberts to Kingman, he's my guide. In the life I live, his legacy unfolds, Honoring my father, from ashes to gold. (Ashes to gold)
