Looking Down Proud Lyrics

I swear it doesn't seem that long to me
Mama wiping that dust off my blue jeans
I was bleeding on the saddle of an old red roan
'Cause Granddad knew I had to get back on

Well, time goes fast when you hit twenty-one
Learned a couple hard lessons that you mighta kept me from
Like a heartbroke drunk shouldn't take that drive
And you find new lows when you're always high

There's a whisper in the whiskey helping me to put it down
There's a hymn you sang for all the things that I ain't figured out
If I could bе just half the man you were, I'll gеt where you are now
And if you see me from your castle in the clouds
I hope you're looking down proud

Something crazy happened two years ago
Got a "yes" from a girl that I wish you coulda known
Had dirty blonde curls under her halo
I haven't cried like that since you went home

There's a whisper in the whiskey helping me to put it down
There's a hymn you sang for all the things that I ain't figured out
If I could be just half the man you were, I'll get where you are now
And if you see me from your castle in the clouds
I hope you're looking down proud

There's a whisper in the whiskey helping me to put it down
There's a hymn you sang for all the things that I ain't figured out
If I could be just half the man you were, I'll get where you are now
By the time they lay me six feet in the ground
We'll be singing in the garden in the clouds
While they're looking down proud
