Landon

Well and now you are somewhere on the 
Highway to Heaven or in the golden fields that 
Never need a plowman either way you should 
Be a saint by now 'cuz you were an angel 
When you were alive, you were an inspiration 
To so many...a man of your word, a man not 
Afraid to cry yeah you were one in a million 
Kind of guy and I know the whole world 
Mourned you when you died... 
Well I hear tell your childhood and teenage 
Years were hard pressed to say the least 
Still you managed to put those 
Cumbersome issues behind you somehow, 
Somewhere between Middle America and 
Hollywood but all in all you never did let 
Fame goes to your head. Your smile was 
Always genuine no matter how bad things 
Got your faith always saw you through 
The hard times and if someone needed your 
Help you'd go out of your way to help them 
'Cuz you were just that good and kind... 
Well I wonder if you’re still on the highway 
To Heaven or in the golden fields that never 
Need a plowmen either way you should be a 
Saint by now 'cuz you were an angel, you 
Was an angel here on earth!
