Chorus:
I wish that I could have met Carter
He's such a hero of mine
But Carter was gone, when I came along
He drowned in whiskey and shine
Verse 1:
I hear that it rained at his funeral
The unborn were crying that day
Souls were in flight
Through eternal night
We passed going opposite ways
Chorus:
I wish that I could have met Carter
I would have been his best friend
If I had been there he'd know that I care
And I'd always be there for him
Verse 2:
As I sit here thinking of Carter
And songs of the mountains he wrote
I'd hope that he hears, through my falling tears
I much I respect every note
Although I never met carter
I've known him all my life long
Ralph's taught me to think, to pray and not drink
But Carter I'm singing your song
Chorus:
I wish that I could have met Carter
I would have been his best friend
If I had been there, he'd know that I care
And I'd always be there for him
I wish that I could have met Carter
