(hummmmm) He taught me how to cast a line out on the lake
How to fix a motor and not fear a mistake
He had a laugh that shook the dust from the beams
And he always found a way to believe in
my
dreams
Of all the heroes that I ever knew
Nobody stands as tall or stays as true
Through every storm and every heavy road
My uncle is my favorite,
the anchor of my soul
He wore a faded cap from nineteen-eighty-four
Kept his old boots sitting right inside the door
He didn't speak much but when he had to say
He'd point you right back home if you lost your way
Of all the heroes that I ever knew
Nobody stands as tall or stays as true
Through every storm and every heavy road
My uncle is my favorite,
the anchor of my soul
My favorite...
Yeah, the anchor of my soul (hummmmm)
