He Walked On Water Lyrics - Singles - Travis Randy

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck, 

And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck 

And his teeth were gone, but what the heck, 

I thought that he walked on water 

He said he was a cowboy when he was young 

He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun 

And my mama's daddy was his oldest son, 

And I thought that he walked on water 

If the story was told, only heaven knows 

But his hat seemed to me like an old halo 

And although his wings, they were never seen 

I thought that he walked on water 

Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop, 

And said, "son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot" 

And I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot 

Then I'd flop down beside him 

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three 

And I loved him and he loved me 

And lord, I cried the day he died, 

'Cause I thought that he walked on water 

If the story was told, only heaven knows 

But his hat seemed to me like an old halo 

And though his wings, they were never seen 

I thought that he walked on water 

Yeah, I thought that he walked on water
