Heaven Left the Light On (Memories of Dad)

I was just a kid with hands on that old wheel

You closed your eyes and said just drive and feel

The hum of the tires your soft harmony

We chase the sun through the hills of Kentucky

Years have rolled by the roads still the same

Every turn I take still whispers your name

The songs we sang still drift back to me

I know I still hear your sweet harmony

Now when the night falls quieted and long

I still hear you hum that traveling song

Every back road every dawn

Feels like you dad heaven let the light on

Sometimes the silence feels heavy and wide

I know I still feel you there by my side

The stars light the path we used to run

I drive on till I meet the morning sun

Maybe the miles were never meant to end

You just went ahead around the bend

Your voice still hums in the whispering pines

I know one day our roads will align

Now when the night falls quieted and long

I still hear you hum that traveling song

Every back road every dawn

Feels like you dad heaven let the light on
