C F C F
[Verse]
C FHe taught me how to drive a Massey
C FHow to work a clutch and keep it straight
Am G CWore the gold off a wedding band
F GOnly loved one woman to her last day
C FSaturdays we're checking trout lines
C FAnd catfish sermons in a Jon boat
Am GTalking girls and talking life
F GAnd laughing at all his clean bad jokes
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm CHe was Superman in overalls
FAt least that's what I thought
[Chorus]
C FNow he's up there with the angels
C FAnd the good lord by his side
Am GAnd I'm down here trying like hell not to cry
F GStill wishing for a little more time
C FHe was gentle he was strong
C FAnd when he passed he passed it on
DmMore than that money in his pocket
C FThat truck that he bought us back in 1989
DmMore than that field fulla cotton
C FHe's gone not forgotten we mighta said goodbye
FBut a small town man's legacy never dies
