Goin' on a roadtrip,
Goin' back home,
To the hills my papaw loved.
Gonna go down past the river
Where the floods once rose,
Through the hills my papaw loved.
Over to the brickyard, all boarded up
Of days gone by, where he worked so hard,
Near the hills that my papaw loved.
The little white church
Where the bell tower rang
Rising high above
The hills that my papaw loved.
The streets of downtown
With the quaint little shops
Nestled in the hills that my papaw loved.
The roads that lead
To that beloved little house
Behind the hills that my papaw loved.
Traveling the long road home
To the place where you lay
Among the hills my papaw called home.

In life and
From the day that I was given birth,
Till the day that man stops walking the earth.
I knew my fate when I came into this world,

The Best Man I Ever Knew
I took you for granted,
the best man I ever knew.
What I wouldn't give,
just to see you.
