He Loved Her - Devin Dawson

People like to talk about

What they’re gonna leave behind

And how they’re gonna change the world

What’s gonna define their life

I guess I set my sights on a

Different kind of legacy

Yeah, I’ll know I got it right

If all they say about me is:

He had a dog, he drank a beer

He drove the same truck fifteen years

He built a house up on some dirt

He wore his first name on his shirt

He said a prayer, got up at dawn

Showed up to cheer the home team on

He earned his keep and kept his word

He lived his life and he loved her

(Yeah he did)

So don’t you go and spend a dime on one of those high priced stones

If you wanna celebrate my life let me tell ya what would really mean the most

Circle up on Friday night with all the ones that know me well

Raise a glass and tip it back and say his life like anyone else

He had a dog, he drank a beer

He drove the same truck fifteen years

He built a house up on some dirt

He wore his first name on his shirt

He said a prayer, got up at dawn

Showed up to cheer the home team on

He earned his keep and kept his word

He lived his life and he loved her

(Yes, he did

Make it dance now, come on)

He went to work and paid the bills

On Saturdays he mowed the lawn

Just a small town, simple man who lived his life like a country song

He had a dog, he drank a beer

He drove the same truck fifteen years

He built a house up on some dirt

He wore his first name on his shirt

He said a prayer, got up at dawn

Showed up to cheer the home team on

He earned his keep and kept his word

He lived his life and he loved her

And he loved her

Ooh, I guess he set his sights on a

Different kind of legacy

Yes, he did
