Lyrics

You were a tractor driver when you married the girl of your dreams

Got a house in the town where you started a family

4 kids growing old and 9 grandkids some breeding their own

Although you rarely said it, we know that you were proud of us all!


You'd have us all howling when your wife told you not to talk wet

She loved the bones of you but you knew how to get in her head

You're sense of humour never lost

Even when your health had taken a drop

You'd always have a joke ready, whenever we did anything wrong


Your soul went away but you'll never decay coz you're memories will always remain

In the hearts and the minds of the ones who live to carry your name!


You'd love a singalong to the oldies on the radio

Recalling every word to all of the songs that you'd know

Moon river with the folks at the home and at Christmas some nat king Cole

And on the old car journeys it was Bobby vees rubber ball


You followed the chemics everywhere away or at home

A million cup runs, you'd cheer them on win lose or draw

Took me nan down to Wembley and she got on bbc1

Praise them when they played well and said some choice words when they were poor


Your soul went away but you'll never decay coz you're memories will always remain

In the hearts and the minds of the ones who live to carry your name!


Got me piano lessons, and made sure I'd always commit

If I didn't play it well, you'd let me know that I needed to practice

It still gets played in the living room now and I thank you for this!

Because Without your support I wouldn't still be doing the music


When we got that call, to tell us that your time had come

It was a bitter blow, but we understood that you'd had enough

But you'll never be forgot

Coz you gave us everything we could want

Your memory is present every spot of earth we walk on


Your soul went away but you'll never decay coz you're memories will always remain

In the hearts and the minds of the ones who live to carry your name!


Your soul went away but you'll never decay coz you're memories will always remain

In the hearts and the minds of the ones who live to carry your name!


So just you rest easy coz we've rode one hell of a wave
