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
