On that open road, I wish I would've known
That, my dear father, today I'd watch you go
I hope you heard me tell you all the things I felt
My biggest regret - I didn't love you well

But I will see you in all of Tennessee
All the rivers, all the trees, and the sun that shines between
And I will love you forever

When I need you the most I'll have to remember
When you used to say, you gotta pray pray pray
Thankful you saw me as a father, thankful you never let me down...
Are you proud of me? To see me turn it all around?

So I will see you in all of Tennessee
Hear your voice sing next to me
When I'm fishing in the stream
And I will think of you forever

And I will see you in all of Tennessee
All the rivers, all the trees, and the sun that shines between
And I will love you forever

And I will see you in all of Tennessee
All the rivers, all the trees, and the sun that shines between
And I will love you forever
