[Verse 1] They say the sun slept in that day Sky pulled on a denim gray The wind stopped just to hold its breath When the roundhouse met with death Town clocks froze at 3:16 Mirrors cracked The deserts screamed Even legends bowed their heads When the beard of truth was laid to rest [Chorus] Farewell Chuck The stories stay You taught fear to kneel and pray You stared down the dark It ran away Now you’re ruling heaven anyway Thank you for every myth Every grin For every fight we kept inside our skin The world seems small since you rode off above But you’re kicking down those pearly gates For us With love [Verse 2] Angels heard your bootheels ring Dropped their harps to hear you sing They say you didn’t climb no stair The stairway rose to meet you there You shook hands with old Saint Pete The halo bowed around your feet They wrote new lines in sacred scrolls: “When trouble comes Just call the soul Of Norris” [Chorus] Farewell Chuck The stories stay You taught fear to kneel and pray You stared down the dark It ran away Now you’re ruling heaven anyway Thank you for every myth Every grin For every line we still quote to our friends The world seems small since you rode off above But you’re cleaning up those streets of gold For us With love [Bridge] They say the reaper turned around Wouldn’t look you in the eye You just tipped your hat and smiled “Guess it’s time to patrol the sky” If tears could throw a punch tonight They’d break apart the grave ‘Cause Chuck Norris doesn’t simply die He just promotes himself From hero to saint [Chorus] Farewell Chuck The stories stay You taught fear to kneel and pray You stared down the dark It ran away Now you’re ruling heaven anyway Thank you for every myth Every grin For every time you helped us win The world feels rough since you rode off above But you’re roundhouse-kicking clouds in half For us With love
