Never Really Gone

Thought my dad was a superhero
Follow him wherever he’d go
Like a shadow I’d never be far behind
When he’d go away on business
I’d beg him to take me with him
He said, buddy, don’t worry, you’ll be fine
As long as there’s Almond Joys and Garth Brooks singing
Fishing while the sunset’s sinking
Think of me and you won’t be alone
Sunday morning when you’re praying
When you watch the Broncos playing
Know that we’re both cheering them along
So no matter where I go
I’m never really gone
Twlve years later tim for college
I could tell he took it hard
He was fighting back a tear
As we said goodbye
He told me he was gonna miss me
And that house would feel so empty
I told him as I pulled out the drive
As long as there’s Almond Joys and Garth Brooks singing
Fishing while the sunset’s sinking
Think of me and you won’t be alone
Sunday morning when you’re praying
When you watch the Broncos playing
Know that we’re both cheering them along
So no matter where I go
I’m never really gone, no
I got that call from mom saying hurry home
They think he’ll be alright, but they don’t know
I got there that next day and as I knelt down by his bed
I cried, daddy, don’t you leave me know
He just smiled and said
As long as there’s Almond Joys and Garth Brooks singing
Fishing while the sunset’s sinking
Think of me and you won’t be alone
Sunday morning when you’re praying
And at every show you’re playing
Know that I’ll be cheering you along
So no matter where I go
I’m never really gone
I’m never really gone
