Remember Him That Way

There's an old man in a La-Z-Boy
TV on a Western, fast asleep
Grey in his hair, at least what's left
But the heart of a lion, beatin' in his chest
And there's a little more slow in his go
Little less rock in his roll these days
But I remember him ten feet tall and bulletproof
Throwin' me a ball in cowboy boots
A whistle and the dogs start runnin'
A whisper and mama starts blushin'
A wrench in his hand and a beer in the other
God couldn't make a man any tougher
And that 'S' on his chest is startin' to fade
But I'll always remember him that way
I used to think, that he'd never get old
That kind of thing was for regular Joes
And he tries real hard to put up a fight
But I guess time is his kryptonite
'Cause I remember him ten feet tall and bulletproof
Throwin' me a ball in cowboy boots
A whistle and the dogs start runnin'
A whisper and mama starts blushin'
A wrench in his hand and a beer in the other
God couldn't make a man any tougher
And that 'S' on his chest is startin' to fade
But I'll always remember him that way
There's a little more slow in his go
A little less rock in his roll these days
But I remember him ten feet tall and bulletproof
Throwin' me a ball in cowboy boots
A whistle and the dogs start runnin'
A whisper and mama starts blushin'
A wrench in his hand and a beer in the other
God couldn't make a man any tougher
And that 'S' on his chest is startin' to fade
But there's some things time can't erase
'Cause I'll always remember him that way
