Randy Travis - He Walked On Water lyrics

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 a-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's 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

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's 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

I thought that he walked on water
