Riding in the Sky

Sunday morning coffee was hot
Spilled on my lap
Made it a joke
Work was average my eyes colored grey
I got terrible news from yesterday
He had been out riding with the guys
Nobody knows for sure but was one hell of a ride
Need for speed with a wild grin
Ruffled hair with words that spin
Could do anything he set his mind to
Could talk his way into heaven
Bold, always asked a lot of questions
But i'll never ask why. Keep riding in the sky.
Every morning since he flew
All these tears shed, he'd know what to do
Every shoulder bare from the times he would hug
He'd rest his head on your shoulder like you've never been loved
Need for speed with a wild grin
Ruffled hair with words that spin
Could do anything he set his mind to
Could talk his way into heaven
Bold, always asked a lot of questions
But i'll never ask why. Keep riding in the sky.
Every day I hope to be
As brave as him living life loudly
I will try to go faster than I can
Never take a no standing up for what I believe in
Eighteen years of laughter eighteen years of love
I hope my eighteen years are as great as his sure was
I will do my best to live the way he did
Sure and I'll join the Lord when I take my last breath
Need for speed with a wild grin
Ruffled hair with words that spin
Could do anything he set his mind to
Could talk his way into heaven
Bold, always asked a lot of questions
But i'll never ask why. Keep riding in the sky.
Keep riding in the sky.
