It was an early morn in Vegas
Not much sleep last night for me.
The call from Okie City woke us.
November 18th 2003

Time stood still for a moment it seemed
Cause I knew what lie ahead,
I wished it were all, just a bad dream
But the news got us out of bed

(Chorus)
Eleven hundred miles away
I heard a familiar voice cry
Daddy's going away today
Would you like to say goodbye

She held the phone to his ear,
I just hoped that he could hear
Tears rolling down & I Love you dad,
Everything's gonna be alright.

I knew he couldn't talk back
But he nodded and understood me
This day turned into mourning
November 18th 2003

Tears and photos today for awhile
My shoulder touched from behind
I Love you my son, made me smile
Everything's gonna be alright

Dad went to heaven this day
November 18th 2003
Thanksgiving, every years a huge gourmet
With Jesus at the helm you see

(Repeat chorus)
Eleven hundred miles away
I heard a familiar voice cry
Daddy's going away today
Would you like to say goodbye

She held the phone to his ear,
I just hoped that he could hear
Tears rolling down & I Love you dad,
Everything's gonna be alright.
