[Verse 1]

One thing we had in common

Was that piercing longing

To put notes together and make the broken smile

We may not reach it tomorrow

But, God, I can't wait any longer

I just wanna reap the blessings that I found

[Verse 2]

When I think about the highways

My broken body will cross

It won’t ever matter

When my voice reaches more

If I play at The Ryman

Oh, I see you standing tall

Telling his best buddy Raf

His dream is setting off

[Chorus]

You said you wanted to see a guitar in my hands

So I ripped it off the wall just to think how you would dance

Oh, I have all these big old plans

But if I play at The Ryman

I'll see my father once again

Oncе again

Once again

Oh, if I play at The Ryman

I'll see my father oncе again

[Verse 3]

If I could give him a go

One concert with me

Hope my son might love music more than the baseball scene

Oh I know, oh I know he loves me

Son, there better be something more

Behind those streams

The baseball scene

[Chorus]

You said you wanted to see a guitar in my hands

So I ripped it off the wall just to think how you would dance

Oh, I have all these big old plans

But if I play at The Ryman

I’ll see my father once again

Once again

Once again

If I play at The Ryman

I'll see my father once again
