Minneapolis Target Center/October 98

Thank you Garth - For being who you are

A friend to every one of us - Besides a country star

Remembering whence you came - Though loving the applause

Letting it remind you - We all love you, just because!!

Because you work so hard - At every song you sing

With your energy so contagious - Each of us feels like a king

Never worrying about making money - Being accessible to every fan

Not concerned about being macho - Though you are a special man!!

Unafraid to show your feelings - In a very spiritual way

Thanking God in heaven - For giving you each day

Remembering how important - A family life must be

Honoring your wife and children - With a special chivalry!!

We in Minnesota - Have always held you dear

Of course you already know that - By the way that we all cheer

We appreciate your staging - And the thought provoking start

When we hear and see the piano - But once again, you outsmart!!

No matter where we’re sitting - No bad seat will we find

For you move about the arena - Touching those in front, as well as those behind

Then you recall a story - You were sitting in the 13th row

When a rock star made eye contact - It caused your heart to glow!!

You never forgot that moment - And what it meant for you

You’ve passed it on to others - In each concert we go to

You make us feel so special - By urging us to sing along

Our love and group energy - Is what makes you so strong!!

And that will be your legacy - Garth Brooks, the thankful star

Who never stopped thanking his fans - Who helped him get so far

But each of us knows for certain - That God rreally ran the show

And Garth, you served him proudly - And told everybody so!!
