"Never Be Gone" lyrics

Damn its hard to watch you go
As they laid you in the ground
Right next to grandma's stone
But I know you've been thinking bout
Seeing her again since the day
She got to Jesus first
But saying goodbye to my best friend
Damn it hurts

As long as that '87 Chevy still runs
As long as there's catfish catchin' on the bank
As long as their still pouring coffee black
I'll hear you everytime that I hear Hank
As long as Tennessee plays Alabama
On a Saturday in the fall
I'll see you everytime
You'll be on my mind
So you won't ever really be gone

I play them memories in my head
Everytime I drive around this place
See you standing on that porch
Red button down ballcap faded A frame
How to be a man and how to trust God
How to work hard rolling up your sleeves
How to love one wife fifty years this side
Yeah you taught me everything

As long as that '87 Chevy still runs
As long as there's catfish catchin' on the bank
As long as their still pouring coffee black
I'll hear you everytime that I hear Hank
As long as Tennessee plays Alabama
On a Saturday in the fall
I'll see you everytime
You'll be on my mind
So you won't ever really be gone

As long as I still got your last name
As long as I get to hand it down
I'll make sure they know
All about the man that I'm just trying to make proud

As long as that '87 Chevy still runs
As long as there's catfish catchin' on the bank
As long as their still pouring coffee black
I'll hear you everytime that I hear Hank
As long as Tennessee plays Alabama
On a Saturday in the fall
I'll see you everytime
You'll be on my mind
So you won't ever really be gone
No wont ever really be gone
