Got a box in the mail today, COD, signed my name
Inside was a plastic bag
Three thousand miles from home,
Little bits of ash and bone
I broke the seal, said Hello Dad

Out to the yard to get some air, Dad sat in my favorite chair
And I made us a couple of drinks
But Dad he can’t drink no more
So what the hell is Heaven for
I wondered what my old man might say

But we got along just fine
I drank his glass, right after mine
And I threw a handful in the wind and I said goodbye to dad

I took Dad for a good long drive and tried to let the years unwind
And I rev’ed it up to a hundred and ten

It was one of those perfect days

After a week of rain
You know it happens now and then
State trooper he slowed us down, when I saw his lights flash on
And I got pulled over once again
He asked me where the fire was
An I told him just because
Then I introduced him to Dad

And they got along just fine,
He gave us a warning, said to watch the signs
And I threw a handful in the wind and I said goodbye to Dad

This ain’t how it's supposed to go
Mom should be here, God knows she knows
And I still don’t understand
Why I never said goodbye to my old man

I threw Dad in the ocean too, and a secret lake that we both knew
And he even jumped on a moving train
I mailed him to Alaska too something he always wanted to do
And I waved goodbye to his plane

And we got along just fine
I took him down to the lake one last time
And I threw a handful in the wind
And I said goodbye to Dad......I got a box in the mail today….
