He Walked on Water (a Randy Travis cover)

Words/Music by Allen Shamblin
Sung by Randy Travis

He wore a starched plaid shirts,
buttoned at the neck
and he'd sit in the shade and watch the chicken's peck
but his teeth were gone, but what the heck..
I thought he walked on water.

He said he was a cowboy, when he was a youngin
he could handle a rope, and he was good with a gun
and my mamas daddy was his oldest son
but I thought, he walked on water

If the story was told only heaven knows
but his hat seemed to me like an old hal
and though his wings they were never seen
I thought, he walked on water

Then he'd tie a cord to the end of a mop
said son here's yer pony keep her at a trot
then I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot
then I'd flop down beside him.

He was 90 years old in '63
and I loved him and he loved me
and lord I cried the day he died
cause I thought that he walked on water

If the story was told only heaven knows
but his hat seemed to me like an old halo
and though his wings they were never seen
I thought, he walked on water
