Lyrics

[Verse 1] He had a Southern drawl like a red-bone hound Every song he sang was my favorite sound He'd be the last one off if the ship went down Kinda man it feels good to be around Kinda man it feels good to be around [Verse 2] He had hair as white as a cotton field And he'd spin you a story like a wagon wheel Never went nowhere without a rod and reel Lord, I miss that man and I always will I miss that man and I always will [Chorus] He'd see through a lie like an old screen door Taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord Carried a bible and a .44 Just don't make 'em like that no more [Verse 3] He said, "Take what you got and do the best you can The best thing you'll ever own is a piece of land" Y'all, he knew his like the back of his hand He was something else, my old man He was something else, my old man [Chorus] He'd see through a lie like an old screen door Taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord Carried a bible and a .44 They just don't make 'em like that no more [Verse 4] I saw him strum this thing every chance he could And he left it to me like he said he would If you ask me why it sounds so good It's 'cause I'm holdin' more than strings and wood I'm holdin' more than strings and wood [Chorus] He'd see through a lie like an old screen door Taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord Carried a bible and a .44 They just don't make 'em like that no more No, they just don't make 'em like that no more
