Keeping Alive

Keeping Alive Rock music plays On the radio Listen with tears As I drive the road Remember her ways How she danced Oh, if but I One more chance The boots I wear Truck I drive Keeping mom alive Another day gone Headed home How else to feel But so alone Open the good book She taught me to read Her voice telling me Always let Him lead The boots I wear Truck I drive Keeping her alive This is not my coat Nor this my glove But a woman's I loved These are not my boots Nor was this my car And this is not my guitar Her silent guitar New morning arrives I'm feeling the low Start with the good book In which I know With each page I turn Promise of a new dawn The word of our God Carrying on Its not my coat Nor my gloves A woman's greatly loved Now they're my boots And this is now my care But this is still her guitar Her sleeping guitar The boots I wear Truck I drive Mom, miss you alive
