Yeah,
just
thinking
back
on
the
gravel
road
Where
the
story
really
started
There
was
a
single
lightbulb
swinging
in
the
hallway
heat
Dad
was
working
double
shifts
just
to
keep
us
on
our
feet
Mamma
had
a
gentle
touch,
she
could
mend
a
broken
wing
She
taught
us
how
to
find
the
joy
in
the
smallest
kind
of
thing
We
didn't
have
a
silver
spoon,
we
didn't
have
much
gold
But
we
had
a
shelter
built
of
love,
or
so
I
have
been
told
Every
penny
counted,
yeah,
we
learned
to
make
it
stretch
But
there
wasn't
any
longing
for
the
things
that
we
couldn't
fetch
Oh,
Mom
and
Dad,
you
built
the
foundation
true
Everything
I
am
today,
I
owe
it
all
to
you
From
the
humble
little
porch
to
the
garden
where
we
grew
Yeah,
you
planted
seeds
of
kindness
and
you
let
the
spirit
through
Through
the
storm
and
through
the
calm,
you
were
the
steady
ground
In
this
heart
of
mine,
your
legacy
is
always
to
be
found (
Female
vocal
enters)
I
remember
summer
evenings
sitting
on
the
rusted
hood
Listening
to
your
wisdom,
yeah,
it
did
my
spirit
good
Daddy,
you
taught
me
how
to
stand
when
the
wind
began
to
blow
Mamma,
you
showed
me
how
to
bloom
even
when
the
grass
was
low
It
wasn't
always
easy,
Lord,
I
know
the
struggle
bit
But
you
kept
the
fire
burning
and
you
never
once
did
quit
You
took
a
little
nothing
and
you
turned
it
into
grace
I
see
the
map
of
all
our
memories
carved
upon
your
face
Oh,
Mom
and
Dad,
you
built
the
foundation
true
Everything
I
am
today,
I
owe
it
all
to
you
From
the
humble
little
porch
to
the
garden
where
we
grew
Yeah,
you
planted
seeds
of
kindness
and
you
let
the
spirit
through
Through
the
storm
and
through
the
calm,
you
were
the
steady
ground
In
this
heart
of
mine,
your
legacy
is
always
to
be
found (
Harmonica
solo,
bright
and
soulful)
Time
moves
like
a
river,
it
rushes
to
the
sea
But
the
lessons
that
you
gave
me,
they
remain
a
part
of
me
It
doesn't
matter
where
I
go
or
how
far
I
might
roam
This
love
you
raised
us
up
upon
will
always
be
my
home (
Duet)
Now
the
seasons
they
have
turned
and
the
house
is
quiet
now
You’
ve
earned
every
silver
hair
and
every
furrowed
brow
We’
re
walking
in
the
footsteps
that
you
laid
out
on
the
trail
A
story
written
in
the
dust
that’
s
never
gonna
fail
We’
re
holding
onto
everything
you
taught
us
to
believe
Giving
back
the
goodness
that
we
were
so
blessed
to
receive
Oh,
Mom
and
Dad,
you
built
the
foundation
true
Everything
I
am
today,
I
owe
it
all
to
you
From
the
humble
little
porch
to
the
garden
where
we
grew
Yeah,
you
planted

of
kindness
and
you
let

Through
the
storm
and
through
the
calm,
you
were
the
steady
ground
In
this
heart
of
mine,
your
legacy
is
always
to
be
found
Yeah,
you’
re
the
steady
ground
Everything
I
am,
it’
s
all
because
of
you
Just
me
and
you,
Mom
and
Dad
Rooted
deep
and
standing
tall (
