Bradley Walker - His Memory Walks On Water

Текст песни

His car went off the highway straight into Crawley’s Lake
But ask anybody in this town, that man died ten years too late
Drowned himself in a whiskey glass
Took his family to hell and back
Who could forgive a man like that?
There’s his youngest daughter standing in the pouring rain
Placing a single rose on Daddy’s grave
'Cause she remembers him like John Wayne in a Cadillac
She’ll only see the best in him now looking back
So she can finally have a father who’s gentle, kind, and good
She’ll let his memory walk on water since he never could
Sometimes in the morning 'fore he’d have that first drink
He’d play like a cowboy, bounce her on his knee
She remembers the way he’d laugh
Marlboro cigarette hangin' from his mouth
Standing by his headstone she’s gonna close her eyes
Let every other memory die
So she remembers him like John Wayne in a Cadillac
She’ll only see the best in him now looking back
So she can finally have a father who’s gentle, kind, and good
She’ll let his memory walk on water
So she can be proud to be his daughter
She’ll let his memory walk on water
Since he never could
