"La-Z-Boy" lyrics

He had some good old days
I heard the stories 'bout the hell he raised
When he was younger once the field got hayed
He'd turn on that TV
Sit down in that chair and I would climb up on his knee

And I learned Hank songs and hee haw the Cowboys and Braves
The best times in my life are times he would trade
That tractor-seat vinyl
For recliner corduroy
God bless that hard working man
In a La-Z-Boy

They said his heart went bad
Doctor told him best don't move too fast
Knowing him I know it drove him mad
Just sitting there all day
But showing up to visit put a smile on his face

We talked fishin' and girlfriends and World War II boats
How he never thought it'd be this hard to go
From tractor-seat vinyl
To recliner corduroy
God bless that hardworking man
In a La-Z-Boy
In a La-Z-Boy

Yeah my old man called
Told me his old man ain't got too long
So I drove right home

We talked Hank songs and hee haw and tried not to cry
Read Psalm 23 before he closed his eyes
When it comes my time
And if I have a choice
I'd go out like that hard working man
In a La-Z-Boy
In a La-Z-Boy
