[Verse 1] He had a southern drawl like a redbone hound And every word he said was my favorite sound Hed be the last one off if the ship went down The kinda man it feels good to be around The kinda man it feels good to be around [Verse 2] He had hair as white as a cotton field And he could spin you a story like a wagon wheel All heart and soul and made of steel Lord, I miss that man and I always will I miss that man and I always will [Chorus] Hed see through a lie like an old screen door He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord He carried a bible and a .44 And they just dont make em like that no more [Verse 3] He said, Take what youve got and do the best you can The best thing youll ever own is a piece of land And he knew his like the back of his hand He was something else, my old man He was something else, my old man [Chorus] Hed see through a lie like an old screen door He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord He carried a bible and a .44 And they just dont make em like that no more No, they just dont make em like that no more [Bridge] I saw him strum this thing every chance he could And he left it to me like he said he would And if you ask me why it sounds so good Its cause Im holdin more than strings and wood Im holdin more than strings and wood [Chorus] Hed see through a lie like an old screen door He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord He carried a bible and a .44 And they just dont make em like that no more No, they just dont make em like that no more
