Power of Garth

My old man worked his fingers to the bone But always made time for us when he got home He'd grab mom and me a glass of tea and those old cassettes That memory still as sweet as it was back then Every time I hear "The Thunder Rolls" I'm right back to ten years old Those songs are like a soundtrack to my life I was too young to understand Why mama cried when she heard the dance Those melodies will forever be wrapped around my heart And that's the power of Garth I was stuck in my truck, all backed up on the interstate And "Much Too Young" took me back to yesterday So I cranked it up, I sang along I closed my eyes and it took me home Every time I hear "The Thunder Rolls" I'm right back to ten years old Those songs are like a soundtrack to my life I was too young to understand Why mama cried when she heard the dance Those melodies will forever be wrapped around my heart And that's the power of Garth A lot of songs have come and gone And faded in the dust But no one's ever come along And hit me like he does Every time I hear "The Thunder Rolls" I'm right back to ten years old Those songs are like a soundtrack to my life Now I'm old enough to understand Why mama cries when she hears the dance Those melodies will forever be wrapped around my heart And that's the power of Garth Yeah, that's the power of Garth
