Lyrics
I went out to see my Ma
She's right next my Grandpa
And then next to her, her brother John
And three rows down, is best friend Jack
He's a hero of IRAQ
But he lost his life, and now he's buried here
I can still remember when we were in grade school, we'd ride our bikes each summer day
And head off for the pool
We would dive into the deep end and disappear into the blue
But we'd always meet up on the otherside.
But now he's gone, and so much time has passed
Hell I'll bet he'd have a laugh, if I told him all the stupid things I've done
But I'll have to hold on, and save these stories for later on, when we catch up on the other side.
But Ma it's you I came to see, I sure could use your company, I done messed up bad
And now I'm scared
I got caught up in some shady scheme, chasing after a losing dream
It might have hurt some folks and now I'm so ashamed
I can still remember the advice you'd to me
Don't build your house on sinking sand cause it'll wash into the sea
You would always tell me, son, don't put your trust in worldly things
Store your treasures up for the other side.
But now your gone, and I am left behind
But I hope some day you'll find, forgiveness for the stupid things I've done
But I'll have to hold on, and save these stories for later on, when we meet up on the other side.
As I look at on this old grave yard I see friends and family
But one day on the other side we'll have a hell of a party
We'll celebrate the lives we had for all eternity
With the comfort of the Savior by our side
But for now their gone
And I'll have to carry on, but I know where I'll belong
And When the good Lord reaches down to take me home
Well then I won't be alone,
Just Like my friends I'll cross the great divide but we'll meet up and the other side
