| Lyrics
Sixty eight blue Chevy won't you take me home.
We haven't been there in so long.
I wonder if you remember the way, I wonder was there ever another one?
Going home to one less place at the table, found out last night that Daddy's gone.
And I wonder what my mom will say. 'Cause Mama here I come, your red tempered son............
CHORUS
And I'm so sorry Daddy, but the time just slipped away.
Oh I'm so sorry Daddy. For things I did and didn't say.
And I'm so sorry Mama, that what brings me back is your pain.
But your not alone Mama, I think Daddy can see the tears I cry,
driving in the rain....
Dad I could have called or wrote a note, but I got caught up in my life.
A brand new house, a car and a boat. Making a living for me, my kids, and my wife.
But time shows no mercy to, those who's views they do not change.
And words once spoken and once heard, you can never, ever, rearrange.
But Daddy this is not the way I'd choose, I can see what pride has made me lose.
I hope this doesn't come as news. Because Daddy your red tempered son he still loves you...........
Chorus
Daddy your Grandson is a lot like me. And he thinks I'm just like you.
And Daddy I don't want to pass away, without hearing him say, "Daddy I love you."
So I try real hard not to make him run, and try to help him with his pain.
I don't want him to wonder what he could have done, someday when he comes driving home. Driving in the rain.............
Driving in the rain.
