Dusty roads beneath my feet, echoes of the sounds remain
Remembering the laughter, the music, and the pain
My Dad let me play his Silvertone, back when I was just a boy
Little hands on the frets, it was his pride and joy
Back 'round sixty-seven, he showed me all the chords
In our little house in Rosehill, playin all the songs adored
Strummin tunes from his heart, and pickin through the years
Every note a memory, then laughter turned to tears
Oh, I still play every tune, that he showed me with care
With each strum this old Silvertone, I feel him sittin there
His gentle way of teaching, those songs throughout the night
It'd be a big part of my history, a love I can't deny
I'd head up to my Grandma's house, on a path I knew so well
And in her front room closet, hidden on a shelf
My Great Grandpa's prized fiddle, lions head on the stock
I'd rosin up that bow and play, she'd beg me just don't stop
So I still play every tune, that I played for her back then
With each stroke of this bow and fiddle, I can feel my Grandpa's hands
And Ma smilin down on me, lighting up the room with pride
So, I'll hold on to their legacy, and keep them right here by my side
We were raised with love, in that sacred place
Daddy built our little church, and guided us with grace
We might not have had much, but we had all we'd need
Growing roots together, and plantin every seed
Friends and family drifted gone, but memories still hold tight
I'll play this song for all of them, under these Texas skies
Carving out their stories, with these old strings of gold
With this old guitar and fiddle, their whispers ever bold
So, here's to those old echoes, let their music never fade
With my Daddy's Silvertone, and Ma's fiddle in the shade
In the heart of Rosehill, my love will always be
I'll keep their memories alive, they've made a part of me
