Red Wing boots on a hardwood floor
5 a.m. and he knocked on my door.
Let's get going for the sun comes up. 
I already got the gun loaded in the truck. 
6-mile drive cross 452
In a 85 Yota that he called Old Blue.
We'd pull up and I'd get the gate
Get to the blind, sit there and wait.
A couple Mossy Oak buddies in the cold November air. He was there. 
When that white tail jumped that fence
He said, Alright buddy, this is it. 
Deep breath, take your time, and wait for that broadside.
I was shaking like a leaf but I wasn't scared.

Cause he was there, he was proud.
He knew then looking back now
That time don't know how to go slow
I'd grow up and he'd grow old.
Now all those memories of me by his side
Between the pine trees and the life advice he shared
Man, I hold them close yeah, those mean the most cause he was there. 

Nowadays when the season rolls round
If I'm lucky enough to get one on the ground
I run to that house off Jim Hogg Road
Cause I know he'd wanna know
And he'll ask me a thousand questions from his easy chair and
I can tell he wishes.

Cause he was there, he was proud.
He knew then looking back now
That time don't know how to go slow
I'd grow up and he'd grow old.
Now all those memories of me by his side
Between the pine trees and the life advice he shared
Man, I hold them close yeah, those mean the most cause he was there. 

It breaks my heart and breaks him down
I grew up and he grew old

He was there for every season, sunshine or rain
There when I changed my wife's last name 
And on the day by baby girl got here
Down the hall in a camo hat in a waiting room chair he was there.
