A compass as plain as a red dirt road

And the work boots that walked him home

He didn’t say the words etched on a Hallmark card

But I knew them anyway

You’re mine and I’m yours

Verse 4

Be in church on Sunday mornin’

Even when your faith runs thin

And remember even a grown man

Calls his mama when he can

Bridge

He gave me my first guitar

Telling me nothing comes easy without hard work

I played until my fingers callused

Hoping to make him proud

He had to go when I was still a boy

Leaving nothing but the music and memories

And a few late night visits in my dreams

Final Chorus

All that advice from Gramps about ways to live

Were a Northern Star

For a boy born with a bleeding heart

A compass as plain as a red dirt road

And the work boots that walked him home

He didn’t say the words etched on a Hallmark card

But I knew them anyway

You’re mine and I’m yours
