Randy Travis "He Walked on Water" |
He 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 momma's daddy was his oldest son And I thought that he walked on water. And 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 he walked on water. And he tied a cord to the end of a mop, And said son here's your pony Keep her at a trot. And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot Then I'd flop down beside him He was ninety years old in '63 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 he walked on water. Yea, I thought that he walked on water... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
