Year of birth 1917
He even got the letter
Direct from the Queen
His final words
Still ring in my ears
Of lessons learned
In his 100 years
So, listen here
If it’s a drinking song make it a strong one
If it’s country road make it a long one
Wanna wear cowboy boots you’d better ride some
You wanna sing about a truck get the miles done
To sing a heart break song you gotta hurt some
Make the most of true love you’ll only get one
And stand up tall if your gonna stand for something
It means nothing at all
If it ain’t all or nothing
We laid him down
In a field of green
We thought about all he’d seen
World War 2, man on the moon
Berlin Wall, Beatles tunes
Phones that think
And talk and play
So much change but so much the same
Somethings don’t change
If it’s a drinking song make it a strong one
If it’s country road make it a long one
Wanna wear cowboy boots you’d better ride some
You wanna sing about a truck get the miles done
To sing a heart break song you gotta hurt some
Make the most of true love you’ll only get one
And stand up tall if your gonna stand for something
It means nothing at all
If it ain’t all or nothing
Where I’ll be, a few years from now
Think I’ll be saying these same words to my little girl somehow
If it’s a country song make it a real one
If you want true friends, then learn to be one
Wanna stand on stage and be the next big thing
Well ya better go and put some hard yards in
A heart break song gonna hurt some
Make the most of true love you’ll only get one
And stand up tall if your gonna stand up for something
It Means nothing at all if it ain’t All or Nothing
It Means nothing at all if it ain’t All or Nothing
So go and give it all you got son
