"This One's For Papaw" lyrics

"This One's For Papaw"

Out of all the songs I've wrote
About this life I know
From gravel roads to flat bottom boats
Hell there must be a thousand of 'em
It dawned of me yesterday
After I stopped to see your grave
That I never dedicated many of 'em to you
It's time I do

Let's toast to papaw
And them damned old overalls
This is for the deer we killed
And all the fish we caught
I'm talking trotlines and good times
Deer dogs shaking limbs off the pines
Hell we'd laugh until we cried
I'm glad that you were mine
Damn right this one's for papaw

And your tractor
And your Chevy sitting in the driveway
It could be drove but I can't even look that way
You're everywhere I look
It's gonna take a long time to adjust
Yeah I'll take care of Nanny
But for now I got this Jack D in my cup

Let's toast to papaw
And them damned old overalls
Yeah this is for the deer we killed
And all the fish we caught
I'm talking trotlines and good times
Deer dogs shaking limbs off the pines
Hell we'd laugh until we cried
I'm glad that you were mine
Damn right this one's for papaw

I ain't gonna lie
This is the toughest damn song I've ever wrote
It's to Billy Frank Farley 1940 to 2022
I love you
Best man I ever knew

Let's toast to papaw
And them damned old overalls
Yeah this is for the deer we killed
And all the fish we caught
I'm talking trotlines and good times
Deer dogs shaking limbs off the pines
Hell we'd laugh until we cried
I'm glad that you were mine
Damn right this one's for papaw
