Run 8 Rider - Thanksgiving Day Lyrics

Son, I see you are a grown man now, Daughter, you’ve a little boy
Time runs on, like that river there, and, Thanksgiving Day is here again
Tried to teach you to stand on your own, So your actions are your words
Tried to teach you, right from wrong, to light a lamp in this old world

Chorus

Good to see you sons and daughters, Hope you’re happy with your lives
Staying strong for the ones you love, Bless you on the roads you ride

Come spring time, when the sun returns, ‘Ole Red and me’ll take to the plow
Side by side son, we’ll work the land, but your momma’s gone just three years now
When you’re older folks just go away, time takes all in her sleep
So set here by the fire, and feed the flame, remember days and nights we smiled

Chorus

Danny’s out in Afghanistan, fighting those who’d do us harm
Don’t forget the one’s who’ve gone before, they keep us safe, free, and warm
Tried to teach you to stand on your own, so your actions are your words
Tried to teach you , right from wrong, to light a lamp in this old world

Chorus
