[D]
They gave me a song limit, but they may not be able to get me off the stage.
I'll keep acting like that.
[G] [N] Love you.
Thank you.
I'm going to do one more for you guys.
I'm going to try to get through this song.
This is definitely the most personal thing I've ever written.
This is a really emotional moment for me for a lot of reasons.
Just being at the Grand Ole Opry in general as a country music artist,
that's the biggest dream.
You know what I mean?
There's nothing better.
I just can't believe I get to live it.
It's also really emotional for me.
I lost my dad when I was a kid, and he's the reason I picked up guitar.
He wanted me to play music, and so later on in life, I decided to start playing guitar
to honor that wish and never imagined I'd do anything with it.
No career, nothing like that.
I just can't believe all the things I've gotten to do.
He would have killed to have been here.
He was a huge country music fan, and that's where I learned about country music
was through my dad mainly. So, yeah.
This song is about him.
Amen, amen.
Now I'm even more emotional because Garth just said all those nice things.
Whew!
He has been the greatest man I know right there.
That's the greatest man I know.
I'm not joking when I say that.
I'm not saying it because I am emotional.
I'm saying it because day in and day out, you will not find a better human being
than that man right there.
Whew, man.
I just can't believe he, [D] wow.
All right.
I'm going to try to get through this.
This is a story about my life.
[D]
My mom was always running, chasing after something.
I heard you couldn't tell her nothing when she was 19.
She met my daddy and took off in his teatop Chevy.
But it went from hot to heavy when they found out about me.
Every other weekend was all I got to see.
Sometimes he'd come get me and we'd hit till the cold cream.
We'd take that boat and drop it, grab the rods and reels and hop in.
He'd open up that tackle box and he'd open up to me.
And he'd say, son, I hope you know how much I love you.
And when you're not with me, I'm always thinking of you.
[Bm] You're the drive inside my heart, the [A] reason I reach for [D] the stars above.
He [Em] said, my world revolves around you.
[D] [A] That's why I call you [D] son.
We'd drive back to his small apartment.
It was Hot Wheels on the worn out carpet.
We'd play games till the Braves game started.
He'd let me stay up late.
Time with him was always flying.
Sundays never had good time.
I'd start to pack and end up crying.
And he'd kneel down [A] and say, [D] son, I hope you know how [A] much I love you.
[D] And when you're not with me, I'm always thinking of you.
[Bm] You're the drive inside my [D] heart, the reason I reach for the [G] stars above.
[D] [Em] He said, my world revolves around you.
[D] [A] That's why I call [D] you son.
[C#m] [Bm] Well, I was gonna go live with him, [D] but I guess God had other plans.
[G] Cause on a two lane road on a Tuesday [D] night, the drunk driver crossed [A] that center [A#] line.
[Bm] They said my dad didn't feel a thing.
[A] Well, I wish I could say the same.
[G] Cause [D] losing him, it left me cold.
[Em] I was mad at [A] God, couldn't let it go.
[D] And then one blue sky morning, the brown eyed baby boy was born.
[E] I looked [D] outside and it started pouring.
[G] I swear [D] they were [A] daddy's tears.
[D] My old man, I could almost see him.
That little face with a new heartbeat.
The pain in mine started [G] leaving when I whispered in [D] his ear.
Son, I hope you [D] know how much I love you.
Now it all makes sense.
This [G] [D] place in life I've come to.
[Bm] You fill the hole inside my heart.
[D] You're why I reach for the [G] stars above.
[D] [E] My world [Em] revolves around [D] you.
[A] That's why I call you son.
[D]
[G] [D] Yeah, that's why I call you son.
Grand Ole Opry, this has been
