When He's Gone

He's got a little less hair and a lot more gray

And he gets around little slower, everyday

That old man sleeping there

In that worn out easy chair

Has been my rock, has been my Superman

My wild west pony, my very first friend

Baseball coach, taught me how to drive

How to love a good woman, how to live a good life

So now, don't wanna think 'bout

How he won't be around forever

Oh, I can't imagine who I'm gonna lean on

When he's gone

Wanna talk a little longer when he calls me on the phone

Start makin' excuses, start makin' time to get back home

How much time can there be

Until he leaves me?

He's been my rock, he's been my Superman

My wild west pony, my very first friend

Baseball coach, taught me how to drive

How to love a good woman, how to live a good life

So now, don't wanna think 'bout

How he won't be around forever

Oh, I can't imagine who I'm gonna lean on

When he's gone

Someday, when I have my own

I'm gonna make sure they know

About my rock, about my Superman

My wild west pony, my very first friend

Baseball coach, taught me how to drive

How to love a good woman, how to live a good life

So now, don't wanna think 'bout

How he won't be around forever

Oh, I can't imagine who I'm gonna lean on

When he's gone, when he's gone
