He Won't Ever Be Gone

Got the news this morning
 It would be a tough day
 Someone's so much larger than life
 Can't believe he could pass away
 When it comes to country music he's the world
 And it wouldn't be all it is without his word
 And He won't ever be gone
 His songs live on
 A fugutive and a brand new man
 Mama tried to understand
 Left us a lifetime of songs
 And He won't ever be gone
 We were friends right from the start
 And we shared some high times
 I would sing some songs he wrote
 And he would sing a few of my own
 Music made us brothers 'til the end
 Not a day goes by that I don't miss him
 And He won't ever be gone
 His songs live on
 Ramblin' fever and the way I am
 Blue collar blues for the working man
 We'll be singin it back home from now on
 And He won't ever be gone
