Way Back home where the cypress grew
|
In a clapboard shack on the black bayou
|
Live a woman and a man that I call Mom and Dad
|
And Times were hard and times were tough
|
We barely had nothing' but we didn't need much
|
Except for the love of a woman and a man
|
|
Daddy worked his fingers to the bone
|
But I know my mamma was the reason he was strong
|
|
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
|
The seeds don't sprout and the crops won't grow
|
Even though you've done the best you can
|
|
And when you're livin in a house that u don't own
|
And the money in the bank is almost gone
|
The only thing in life I know that stands
|
Is the love between a woman and a man
|
|
Well, I grew up workin like my daddy did
|
Broke the land with my hands and the money rolled in
|
But it wasn't enough and I did not understand
|
You see, the only thing that matters money can't buy
|
And when it gets down the bottom line
|
It's the love you find between a woman and a man
|
|
Everything Daddy said to me was true
|
'Cause my life was not complete until I found you
|
|
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
|
The seeds don't sprout and the crops won't grow
|
Even though you've done the best you can
|
|
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
|
The seeds don't sprout and the crops won't grow
|
Even though you've done the best you can
|
|
Only thing in life that stands
|
Is the love between a woman and a man
|
