In the mountains is where I used to live I remember even though Is just a kid In the basement is where my daddy stayed When he couldnt leave but wanted to get away An old bottle of Dixie on the shelf Some barely knew him but I knew him well Theres a clock that dont tick anymore If time could have only stopped long before They dont make em like you anymore Worked outside everyday but left your shoes by the door You knew when to give a hug and when to throw a punch You knew how to build an engine from the bottom up Doesnt matter how good you look when youre built with a heart of gold They dont make em like you anymore Tools hang on the wall one by one To remind us of the things we did and things we left undone And your books are in the corner by the door Well, I ought to pick em up cause you cant read em anymore And theres a painting my brother made for you He always knew your favorite cartoons And theres a sheet of dust that hides that stereo It would play and we would sing but that was long ago They dont make em like you anymore Worked outside everyday but left your shoes by the door You knew when to give a hug and when to throw a punch You knew how to build an engine from the bottom up Doesnt matter how good you look when youre built with a heart of gold They dont make em like you anymore Oh, this house feels almost empty but I remember when it was filled With you and all the things in this place we built So much love and all the memories that will never go away Ill never forget those days They dont make em like you anymore Worked outside everyday but left your shoes by the door You knew when to give a hug and when to throw a punch You knew how to build an engine from the bottom up Doesnt matter how good you look when youre built with a heart of gold When the good Lord made you He must have broke the mold Goes to show They dont make em like you anymore
anymore, knew, em, built, punch
