Father`s Land

I recall every word and lesson at the diner up the street And every answer to every question always came in threes Never once told me what to do but you taught me to be free And the way that you loved my mama is the way you loved me There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree Though I came from another world You made a home for me I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be You stand for what you stand on as a farmer of the land You know we dug a little deeper by the dirt upon our hands You raise the grass and I’ll raise a song So I think you’ll understand Trying to make the world beautiful And do the best that we can There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree Though I came from another world You made a home for me I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree Though I came from another world You made a home for me I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be
