Sawdust and coffee rings Were the things that built the man That as Id grow would provide the things Id need He never had much to say at all Kept a pocket watch in his overalls But he made the sun set and his fingers bleed He says he married young Cause she was different, she was fun Lord they say that she looked some like me If she had it shed give it all But boys dont you piss her off Or youll find out just what the fire means But the day were long and the weeds were tall Wed snap peas til the early Fall We lived like it was 1963 I didnt have things like the other kids But I thanked God for the things I did Its this kind of blood that runs in me Its a shame a man today can turn his face and walk away From a little girl with eyes just like his own Couldnt blame it on his raisin Naw his folks, they did the saving And the man I lost I suppose Ill never know But the day were long and the weeds were tall Wed snap peas til the early Fall We lived like it was 1963 I didnt have things like the other kids But I thanked God for the things I did Its his kind of blood that runs in me Its his kind of blood that runs in me In the sweet bye and bye We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet bye and bye We shall meet on that beautiful shore Ive got peace just like a river Ive got peace like a river in my soul In the sweet bye and bye When the roll is called up yonder Ill be there
