Zach Bryan - Pink Skies

The kids are in town for a funeral
So pack the car and dry your eyes
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ‘em
And plenty nights under pink skies
You taught ‘em to enjoy

So clean the house
Clear the drawers
Mop the floors
Stand tall
Like no one’s ever been here
Before or at all
And don’t you mention all the inches
That are scraped on the door frame
We all know you tip toed up to 4’1 back in ’08

If you could see ‘em now
You’d be proud
But you’d think they’s yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet god heard you coming

The kids are in town for a funeral
And the grass all smells the same as the day you broke your arm swinging
I’m that kid out on the river
You bailed him out
Never said a thing about Jesus or the way he’s living

If you could see ‘em now
You’d be proud
But you’d think they’s yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet god heard you coming

If you could see ‘em now
You’d be proud
But you’d think they’s yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet god heard you coming

The kids are in town for a funeral
So pack the car and dry your eyes
I know they got plenty young blood left in em
And plenty nights under pink skies
You taught ‘em to enjoy

Recall your hats
Erase the claim
Like who gets to ride shotgun
Your pocket knife, it went missing
I think we know who got that one
You use to let her
Cut the ribbons
On all of her own presents
It made me nervous, but now I see
We’re just taught different lessons

Lost my mom about a year ago, and this song just hits different. Her funeral was beautiful, and God definitely heard her coming. Love you ma

I lost my dad, last July 13th to colon cancer, he was 43 years old, the strongest man I know. I got pregnant with twins a few months after he passed, (which he totally called would happen before he died) we found out the genders, a boy and girl. We always told him we would name a baby boy Walter Corey after him. At 18 weeks pregnant, baby B, our baby boy died, our little Walter Corey. We knew when God calls Walter’s name in heaven my dad will know it’s his grandson. We just delivered our baby girl a week before his one year anniversary on July 8th. God gave us a life while grieving the death of both my dad and son. He’s amazing. We miss them so much, and Just imagine my dad holding our son, enjoying the beautiful view of the pink skies in heaven. ♥️

Never seen my grown man cry until he got drunk to this song crying for his baby brother who passed in 2015.

Lost my dad in '03 to Cardiovascular disease. His main goal was to live to see 50. That way my brother and I would be old enough to look after our mom. He got to 50, we were 16 and 12 and that was all she wrote. 4 months after his 50th. This song makes me think of him. Love ya, pops. Hopefully we're making you proud, man.

Lost my grandma a year ago and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve gone through. One grandparents left and I’m cherishing every moment I can ❤ I regret so much from the past that I’m determined to not make the same mistake again. I was 5 and 10 when I lost my first two grandparents so didn’t have much understanding but I was 16 for the last loss. My first funeral and it was so difficult. I’m still in shock and refuse to believe she’s really gone 💔💔

Zach Bryan at 12 am just hits different 😩

[hannahjoann]

No matter how hard I try not to, I always end up crying to this song. Even hearing it a hundred times.

[LakotaLane]

I lost both of my best friends, and both of my grandparents within two years. The worst part about getting older is losing the people you love along the way, this song will forever mean something to me. Plenty nights under pink skies, you taught us to enjoy….

[KingRemi]

Makes me wish I had a father that cared about being one, all I wanted as a kid was to earn his approval and have his attention. Even though he’s a stranger I’ll cry at his funeral

[mkelly]

At least 1, 000 of these views are just me listening to it over and over and missing my grandpa dale. One of the best men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and getting to love. I know God heard him coming. I just know it.

[jorysiler]

This sing is probably one of the best songs ever written.

[Shackleford_Rusty]

Song dropped just in time as i laid my grandmother to rest this past month. Very much a song that helped me get through this fucked up patch of life. Thank you Zach 🫡

[Lilchunkbella]

I lost my dad back in January of 2016. He was only 45 years old. I miss him dearly. He would’ve been the best grandpa to my children. It might’ve been almost 9 years ago but to me it still feels like yesterday. Miss you dad.

[badazz]

I lost my uncle aka my second father in april from a drunk driver on his way home from work. Ill never forget that day. That was the HARDEST funeral ive ever been too. Afterwards i went to the bar he went to every friday night. Hardest day of my life and probably will forever be. Dont take family for granted you never know from one day to the next.

[Quagniir-kpyz]

82 year old grandpa had a stroke last winter
This song will be his in my heart

[graceybosarge]

Zach ever since i found your songs out ive been getting closer to god listening to mostly only your music, you saved me❤️

[akuwyatt]

When I was five I stay the night with my grandma and papa, everything was all fine until the next day, we went out had breakfast together and went to the store and went back home, I was helping carry in groceries and when I was about to come outside to grab more the door was locked, next thing u know my mom had came in and grabbed me and carried me outside to the car, all I can remember of that day is seeing my papa on the ground lifeless. This song really hits the spot I’ve been non stop crying since I listen to it

[seanhoward]

My dad was found dead in his wheelchair today. I've heard this song so many times and always loved it but now I truly understand the power of music more than ever. Sometimes you need to break wide open so you can feel the hurt and the the wounds strengthens you unfortunately and is a necessary part of life. Seeing my children cry over the death broke me even further than I thought possible. But so much pain and emotion has made me feel more alive than I have in years. Hold your loved ones tight. Bite your tounge. Be nice and courteous. And even when theyre old and bitter spend time with them even when you'd rather be somewhere else. I'll make the funeral beautiful and invite the yuppies

[EmilyGorcenski-ck]

That Andrew Marlin mandolin! What an incredible collab with one of my favorite bands of all time.

I lost my daddy in January. I can’t explain in words how much I miss him everyday. This song hits hard because me and daddy fished together my entire life so we seen so many beautiful sunsets, sunrises with pinks ski. Fly high daddy
