Story Behind The Song

Tribute to Jordan Peters

Lyrics

Six foot four with the sweetest soul
Big hearted boy with an untamed goal
Lost you one August morn under the moon's faint glow
The silence said everything
I didn't wanna know

Twenty-seven years young how can this be?
The world couldn't hold your pain but it holds your memory
I whisper your name
and it cuts like a song
My boy you were here
now you're already gone
Twenty-seven years young

Your laughter echoed like a mountain high
Lit up the skies even on
pitch black nights
I never thought I'd see
your light fade away
But now I face the dawn
of an empty day

Twenty-seven years young how can this be?
The world couldn't hold your pain but it holds your memory
I reach for the stars where you might belong
My boy you were here
now you're already gone
Twenty-seven years young

I keep your old guitar
looking new
Play a chord or two
it sounds like you
In those strings your soul always lives on
Six foot four standing tall
in a song

Twenty-seven years young how can this be?
The world couldn't hold your pain but it holds your memory
I reach for the stars
where you might belong
My boy you were here
now you're already gone
Twenty-seven years young
