Got the news this morning It would be a tough day Someone´s so much larger than life Can´t believe he could pass away When it comes to country music he´s the world
And it wouldn´t be all it is without his word
And He won´t ever be gone His songs live on A fugutive and a brand new man Mama tried to understand Left us a lifetime of songs And He won´t ever be gone
We were friends right from the start And we shared some high times I would sing some songs he wrote And he would sing a few of my own Music made us brothers ´til the end Not a day goes by that I don´t miss him
And He won´t ever be gone His songs live on
Ramblin´ fever and the way I am Blue collar blues for the working man We´ll be singin it back home from now on And He won´t ever be gone
And He won´t ever be gone His songs live on A fugutive and a brand new man Mama tried to understand Left us a lifetime of songs And He won´t ever be gone We´ll be singin it back home from now on And He won´t ever be gone
