His car went off the highway
straight into Crawley's Lake
But ask anybody in this town,
that man died ten years too late
Drowned himself in a whiskey glass
Took his family to hell and back
Who could forgive a man like that?
There's his youngest daughter
Standing in the pouring rain
Placing a single rose on her
like John Wayne in a Cadillac
She'll only see the best in him
So she can finally have a father
Who's gentle, kind, and good
She'll let his memory walk on water
Before he'd have that first drink
Standing by his headstone
She's gonna close her eyes
Let every other memory die
like John Wayne in a Cadillac
She'll only see the best in him
So she can finally have a father
Who's gentle, kind, and good
She'll let his memory walk on water
She'll let his memory walk on water
