Close To You

Got a chainsaw in my hand

A couple miles of fence to mend

Morning sun just cutting through the pines

That oil and sawdust smell

Your buck-knife on my belt

This Carhartt coat was yours, but now it's mine

Standing in this field

I'm alone, but I still feel

Close to you

Yeah, I know that you

Are there somewhere beyond the clouds

So ain't it kinda crazy how I'm

Close to you

Yeah, you left too soon

I know you're gone, it don't seem real

But every day I still feel

Close to you

When I hear an old Don Williams song

Or see an old red Ford trucking on

It's almost like you ain't that far away

Kinda like your bottle on that shelf

Though you ain't here to help

When I sit down, I pour two glasses

Sip one slow, and just like that I'm

Close to you

Yeah, I know that you

Are there somewhere beyond the clouds

So ain't it kinda crazy how I'm

Close to you

Yeah, you left too soon

I know you're gone, it don't seem real

But every day I still feel

Close to you

Close to you

Might be a while until

I'm there, but I still feel

Close to you

Yeah, I hope that you

Are proud of how your boy turned out

Although you're up there looking down, I'm

Close to you

Yeah, you left too soon

I know you're gone, it don't seem real

But every day I still feel

Close to you

Close to you
