I saw you on the road today
And I knew it wasn't you
Just somebody driving the same kind of truck you used to use
But just for that one moment you were here with me again
A moment that I didn't want to end
I saw you on the lake today
And I knew it wasn't you
Just the sun playin' tricks, like it'll sometimes do
I thought I heard a fishing reel spinning out some line
And just for that one moment I was fine
I saw you on the job today
And I knew it wasn't you
Just somebody doing the same kind of work you used to do
But it brought to mind so many times I watched you from the shade
Memories I never want to fade
They say that time will heal all wounds
But maybe sometimes it opens up some too
I saw you at the house today
And I knew it wasn't you
Just the echo of a memory of some long past barbeque
And though those days are past, your legend will live on
So in a way you aren't really gone
So in a way you aren't really gone
