This makes me picture my Dad. He passed away June 1st 2021. He loved hunting and fishing. This is what he would want.

My grandpa... John Ed Lewis sr., lived a humble life for his family, his horse and for christ. He taught me to shoot a sling shot, clean a rifle, say my prayers and to be grateful for this life and the next and to work as hard as i can and to put my faith in christ. He was raised on a dairy farm on the Southside of San Antonio and led the San Antonio day parade on his horse carrying the Texas Flag. He served his country, went to college and graduated an electrical engineer, fought wars on foreign soil, married his highschool sweetheart and raised 4 children who went on to give him many grand children and great grand children. He retired from the civil service and again from trinity university as university policeman. He carried a 357 on his hip, wore a pair of polished justins and volunteered his time to the church of christ till the day he died. This song hits home for me in the realest of ways! A true cowboy of few word, many smiles, lots of lessons, and more than anything, unwavering love for his family, the great state of Texas, and for Christ. I miss him but i know hes standing right here over my shoulder guiding me. I love you papaw!

My father's favorite song, was the last song he heard minutes before he peacefully passed last year from cancer. This song was played on loop to a slide show for my father's memorial service with many pictures of him hunting and fishing.

I lost my best friend in the whole world last year. We used to jam to this song when he was around. He’s living on the outskirts of heaven now - that I know.

Since I’ve lost him, I started to really get into playing and writing music. Would be honoured if you covered one of my songs. Been a long time fan and nothing would make my best friend more proud. That’s all I’ve been trying to do is make him proud. God bless Craig

This song deserves more that 100k views on this channel that’s for sure. One of the best voices in country music.

Love this stripped down version of a beautiful song that reminds me of the greatest man I’ve ever known, my grandpa. I know he’s gotta spot saved for me underneath a big shade tree on the outskirts of heaven.

Me seeing a RuPaul's Drag Race advert before I watch my 17th video of a man in a cap singing about God, decency and fishing:

'Sigh. I wish I'd allowed Targeted Ads.'

[davecampbell]

Probably won't answer but is your family from Texas

[jeffhavert]

I don’t need a mansion just build me a cabin on the corner of glory land

[seannallen]

Sounds very much like the Eagles “Take it to the limit”. Beautiful nonetheless.
