Not a Day I Don’t Miss You

The sun still climbs the ridgeline Like it always used to do The rooster hits the morning Same old broken tune But the world feels half a heartbeat Off the rhythm that it knew Since the morning that I woke up To a sky without you

They say a man gets stronger Every year he carries pain

Not a day I don’t miss you Not a mile I don’t feel Every road I keep riding Still remembers your wheel From the dust of old summers To the frost on the pines Every breath that I’m taking Still walks beside mine

Your jacket’s in the hallway Like you’re due to walk right in The radio still playing Songs we used to sing I still catch myself turning When I hear the screen door move Like some stubborn part of my soul Still believes it’s you

Funny how a lifetime Can end in just one call

Not a day I don’t miss you Not a mile I don’t feel Every road I keep riding Still remembers your wheel From the dust of old summers To the frost on the pines Every breath that I’m taking Still walks beside mine

The Spartans told their brothers To come home with shield or none But nobody tells a father How to bury a son And the silence of the valley After the bugles fade Is the loudest thing a man Ever hears in his days

So I ride through the seasons Through the wheat and the snow With your voice in the distance Like a place I must go

Not a day I don’t miss you Not a night I don’t pray That the road keeps on turning Till it brings me your way And when my trail grows quiet Under heaven’s wide view I’ll finally stop missing you… When I’m riding with you
