He had a s[G]troke in '9[C]5
They thought it b[G]est that he res[C]ide, in a nursing hom[G]e[C][F][C]
His family v[G]owed they'd never l[C]eave him
The last t[G]ime they came to s[C]ee him, was three years ag[G]o[C]
He spent his w[G]hole life pro[C]vidin'
Now he was d[G]own to re[C]lyin, on Medicar[G]e[C][F][C]
The nurses t[G]ook a liking [C]to him
They'd get his wh[G]eelchair out and p[C]ush him, on sunny day[G]s[C]

Playin' [G]QB for the C[C]owboys, gettin' h[G]igh on the c[C]rowd noise
And the b[D]right lights
Cause deep ins[F]ide things were rockin' in the m[D]ind

She went sc[G]reamin' down the h[C]all
Hey, it's a m[G]iracle ya[C]'ll, I think he's comin' [G]back [C]
