I never knew my mother and the closest that I came

When he held it in two calloused hands

And told me son don't cry

This is how the Lord intended things to be
[Verse 2]

Daddy told me mom grew weaker on the night that I was born
C G C G
How she suffered and the doctor didn't come

And when daddy told his Maker

Lord if it be Thy will please take her
G D G C G
How the good Lord took his wife and gave a son
[Verse 3]

As a kid I watched my daddy carve a living from the land
C G
Then when nighttime came he held me on his knee

And prayed the Lord would let him live till I became a man

My daddy loved this land the Lord and me
[Chorus]

Now I've been through a war where many died
C G
And never got a scratch

And enough of dad rubbed off on me

To know how I came back

I'm living proof the man upstairs

Still lives and cares and answers
[Outro]

The prayers of the man who loved this land

The Lord and me
