Never Really Gone

Thought my dad was a superhero

Follow him wherever he'd go

Like a shadow I'd never be far behind

When he'd go away on business

I'd beg him to take me with him

He said buddy, don't worry you'll be fine

As long as there's Almond Joys and Garth Brooks singing

Fishing while the sunset's sinking

Think of me and you won't be alone

Sunday morning when you're praying

When you watch the Broncos playing

Know that we're both cheering them along

So no matter where I go

I'm never really gone

Twelve years later time for college

I could tell he took it hard

He was fighting back a tear

As we said goodbye

He told me he was gonna miss me

And that house would feel so empty

I told him as I pulled out the drive

As long as there's Almond Joys and Garth Brooks singing

Fishing while the sunset's sinking

Think of me and you won't be alone

Sunday morning when you're praying

When you watch the Broncos playing

Know that we're both cheering them along

So no matter where I go

I'm never really gone

I got that call from mom saying hurry home

They think he'll be alright, but they don't know

I got there that next day and as I knelt down by his bed

I cried daddy don't you leave me now

He just smiled and said

As long as there's Almond Joys and Garth Brooks singing

Fishing while the sunset's sinking

Think of me and you won't be alone

Sunday morning when you're praying

And at every show you're playing

Know that I'll be cheering you along

So no matter where I go

I'm never really gone

Never really gone
