Life, Love and War

There's a preacher's fire in your eyes and you smile like your mother

I'm shakin' like a Labrador, I've never been a father

Pray my broken back's your stairs and my ceiling is your floor

And I hope you walk with Jesus through life, love, and war

I'll teach you how to drive, how to fish and skin a buck

And how to run a table saw and still keep both your thumbs

I hope you're proud of your last name when other people ask you

And I hope you do good things good and bad things when you have to

There's a preacher's fire in your eyes and you smile like your mother

I'm shakin' like a Labrador, I've never been a father

Pray my broken back's your stairs and my ceiling is your floor

And I hope you walk with Jesus through life, love, and war

Boats and cars and late-night bars turn dollars into dimes

Luck, it comes and goes, but hard work wins every time

Have fun with the ladies, hope you find one like I did

'Cause a good wife and a baby, yeah, that's as good as good can get

There's a preacher's fire in your eyes and you smile like your mother

I'm shakin' like a Labrador, I've never been a father

Pray my broken back's your stairs and my ceiling is your floor

And I hope you walk with Jesus through life, love, and war

Yes, I hope you walk with Jesus through life, love, and war
