Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dad, I watched you leave at dawn today
Just like all those mornings long ago
Your old thermos on the counter stays
Where you left it thirty years or so
[Chorus]
Every blade of grass remembers you
Every stone still bears your patient touch
Though the seasons paint a different view
The grass grows different now, so much
[Verse 2]
Eighteen wheels beneath Montana skies
Rolling home to tend the ranch at night
While the headstones caught your watchful eyes
As you kept their resting place just right
[Chorus]
Every blade of grass remembers you
Every stone still bears your patient touch
Though the seasons paint a different view
The grass grows different now, so much
[Bridge]
¿Recuerdas los días, papá?
Cuando el sol brillaba en tu camión
Y el rancho te esperaba ya
Con todo el peso de tu labor
[Verse 3]
Now your work gloves rest beside the sink
And your truck keys gather dust nearby
But the whole town stops sometimes to think
Of the man who made time slow down by
[Chorus]
Every blade of grass remembers you
Every stone still bears your patient touch
Though the seasons paint a different view
The grass grows different now, so much
[Outro]
(The grass grows different)
(The grass grows different)
(The grass grows different now)
