Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Hey Dad, remember those long summer nights?
Fireflies blinkin', porch swing creakin' just right
Baseball on the radio, crack of the bat, a distant cheer
Rangers down by two in the ninth, another year of "almost there"
(Chorus)
But guess what, Dad? We finally did it, the ghosts of '10 and '11 laid to rest
World Series Champions, the whole dang league puttin' Texas to the test
Tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, a bittersweet release
Wish you were here to see it, Dad, but I know you felt the peace
(Verse 2)
My son, barely five when you flew away, still remembers PawPaw's smile
The way you'd scoop him up, high fives for every single strike
He might not have known you long, but the Texas spirit's strong
We cheered together, Dad, the whole dang night long
(Chorus)
But guess what, Dad? We finally did it, the ghosts of '10 and '11 laid to rest
World Series Champions, the whole dang league puttin' Texas to the test
Tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, a bittersweet release
Wish you were here to see it, Dad, but I know you felt the peace
(Bridge)
Maybe you whispered in Eovaldi's ear, a curveball here, a fastball there
Maybe you nudged Garcia's bat a little, a game-winning shot to share
The love for the Rangers, a bond that transcends time and space
A connection that lives on, forever etched on our face
(Chorus)
But guess what, Dad? We finally did it, the ghosts of '10 and '11 laid to rest
World Series Champions, the whole dang league puttin' Texas to the test
Tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, a bittersweet release
Wish you were here to see it, Dad, but I know you felt the peace
[Outro]
So here's to you, Dad, wherever you may be
Cheering with the angels, a victory for all to see
Go Rangers, forever blue, a love that's here to stay
We miss you every day, but the memories, they won't fade away
[End]
