Heart of Gold and Iron

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of man they don't make anymore Says what he means, walks straight through every door Boots on the ground, heart wide as the sky A God-fearing soul with truth in his eye [Chorus] Here's to the warrior, here's to the brave Here's to the lessons and love that you gave Raised up a family, lifted a name Faithful and steady through sunshine and rain [Verse 2] From hardest of roads to the man you became You carried your people, rewrote the name Captain and father, a rock through the years A heart full of gold and faith bigger than fears [Chorus] Here's to the warrior, here's to the brave Here's to the lessons and love that you gave Raised up a family, lifted a name Faithful and steady through sunshine and rain [Bridge] Jimmie Russell, my eternal one For every battle fought and won Heaven sent you straight to me You're the answered prayer I see [Verse 3] Nine little blessings, and one we hold dear Watching from heaven, forever so near Eighty-seven strong, still chasing the wind Skies over Oahu, Harley revving again Jimmie Russell, you're courage and grace Gratitude shines every time I see your face [Chorus] Here's to the warrior, here's to the brave Here's to the lessons and love that you gave Raised up a family, lifted a name Faithful and steady through sunshine and rain [Outro] Happy birthday, my Jimmie, my friend The love that we share will never end
