"For As Long As I Can Remember" lyrics

For as long as I can remember
The sun wasn't up before Dad
He's always taken coffee black
And Monday mornin' strong

For as long as I can remember
There's been a bottle up on the fridge
Kitchen table's where his Bible sits
Where they both belong

Some things will always be a certain way
Just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change
I'll be my father's song till I wake up on the other side of forever
It's all I ever wanted to be, for as long as I can remember

For as long as I can remember
It's been me and my brother
You got one, you got the other
And that was that

And just like any other brothers
We had our fair share of fights
But even when we don't see eye to eye
We got each other's backs

Some things will always be a certain way
And just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change
I'll be my father's song, and when he needs me, I'll be my brother's keeper
'Cause he's been that for me, for as long as I can remember

Sometimes I cuss like him, and I catch myself standin' like him
And when I get mad, I get quiet like him
Like my brother, my dad, and his dad before him

Some things will always be a certain way
Just like them, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change
From now till Kingdom come, when we catch up on the other side of forever
That's how it's always gonna be, that's how I'm always gonna be
For as long as I can remember

Ooh-ooh
For as long as I can remember
Ooh-ooh
