Drew Baldridge - Legacy Lyrics

He taught me how to drive a Massey
How to work a clutch and keep it straight
Wore the gold off a weddin' band
Only loved one woman 'til her last day
Saturdays we're checking trout lines
And Catfish sermons in a John boat
Talkin' girls and talkin' life
And laughin' at all his clean bad jokes
He was Superman in overalls
At least that's what I thought

Now he's up there with the angels
And the good Lord by his side
And I'm down here tryin' like hell not to cry
Still wishin' for a little more time
He was gentle, he was strong
And when he passed he passed it on
More than that money his pocket
That truck that he bought us back in 1989
More than that field full of cotton
He's gone not forgotten, we might of said goodbye
But a small town man's legacy never dies

He had his own garden and he grew tomatoes
So he could share 'em with the folks in town
He'd give his shirt off his back to a stranger
Everything he owned by the sweat of his brow
Oh, I can see him now
Yeah, I bet he's looking down

Up there with the angels
And the good Lord by his side
And I'm down here tryin' like hell not to cry
Still wishin' for a little more time
He was gentle, he was strong
When he passed he passed it on
More than that money his pocket
That truck that he bought us back in 1989
More than that field full of cotton
He's gone not forgotten, we might of said goodbye
But a small town man's legacy never dies
It never dies

I can't wait to teach my son
Everything he taught me
I can't wait to carry on
The legacy

Now he's up there with the angels
"And grandma by his side"
And I'm down here tryin' like hell not to cry
Still wishin' for a little more time
He was gentle, he was strong
When he passed he passed it on
More than that money his pocket
That truck that he bought us back in 1989
More than that field full of cotton
He's gone not forgotten, we might of said goodbye
But a small town man's legacy never dies
It never dies
It never dies
It never dies
