Lyrics:
We were sittin' round the supper table And the buzz of the frigid air Was the only sound til Mama laid down A book she found upstairs It was covered in dust in the back of the closet Goodwill box We almost tossed it out We could've lost all those memories There was a picture of Mama in the pourin' rain Ticket stubs to a Braves game Silver Star and a baggage claim From Hanoi, Vietnam There was a picture of 'em crawlin' on Grandpa Leather skin from a baseball We laughed and cried Told stories all night long From the Book of John Now the pot of coffee's almost gone As we turn another page Climbin' on him like a jungle gym Watchin' his hair turn grey All the Polaroids are just reminders You can't hold life in a three-ring binder But we flipped on through 'em anyway There's a picture of his sister Taken mid-July On the steps of the church Pullin' at his tie Hair still wet from gettin' baptized A brand new blue suit on An old set of keys to his Chevrolet A crumpled up receipt for a wedding ring We watched ourselves grow up there in his arms In the Book of John That sun came up Were were wide awake Head to toe in black and grey A long, black Lincoln waitin' down the drive He was father, son, husband and friend I still flip through it every now and then When I need just a few words of advice It's almost like he's not really gone And I know one day I'll be passin' on The Book of John
