He Walked on Water (feat. Kenny Chesney)

Wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
 And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
 And his teeth were gone, but what the heck
 I thought that he walked on water
 Said he was a cowboy when he was young
 He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun
 And my mama's daddy was his oldest son
 And I thought that he walked on water
 If the story was told, only heaven knows
 But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
 And though his wings, they were never seen
 I thought that he walked on water
 Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop
 And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
 And I'd ride in circles while he laughed allot
 Then I'd flop down beside him
 And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
 And I loved him and he loved me
 And Lord, I cried the day he died
 'Cause I thought that he walked on water
 If the story was told, only Heaven knows
 But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
 And though his wings, they were never seen
 I thought that he walked on water
 I thought that he walked on water
