[00:17.69]We didn't know that times were lean
[00:20.66]Round our house the grass was green
[00:22.60]
[00:23.41]It didn't seem like things were all that bad
[00:26.28]
[00:28.04]I bet we walked a thousand miles
[00:31.04]Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows
[00:33.21]
[00:33.90]And learnin' how to give it all we had
[00:36.58]
[00:38.54]As life went on and years went by
[00:41.10]
[00:41.79]I saw the light in daddy's eyes
[00:44.48]And felt the love in mama's hands
[00:47.40]
[00:49.13]They kept us warm and kept us fed
[00:52.26]Taught us how to look ahead
[00:54.32]
[00:54.94]Now lookin' back I understand

[01:29.12]When Sunday mornings rolled around
[01:31.87]We dressed up in hand me downs
[01:34.56]Just in time together with the church
[01:37.62]
[01:39.56]Sometimes I think how long it's been
[01:42.15]
[01:42.65]And how it impressed me then
[01:45.03]It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work
