Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My father had skin like leather
Hands like steel
From a lifetime spent in the cotton fields
And though he'd come home tired and dirty
Almost every night
He found the strength to smile at me
Hold my mama tight
[Verse 2]
While that old transistor radio
Would play the Opry out in the hall
I'd sit and watch those shadows glide across the wall
[Verse 3]
And they'd dance to a Dixie lullaby
A picture of love beneath the Southern sky
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 4]
I left home at eighteen
In a hand-me-down Chevrolet
Packed with my mama's cookin'
My old man's stubborn ways
It was college, work, and love
And then the babies came
The youngest one's got his grandaddy's name
[Verse 5]
And in the early morning hours
When my children could not sleep
Rock them in my arms to a gentle beat
[Verse 6]
And sing them a Dixie lullaby
Hush. baby, don't you start to cry
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 7]
My father was a mountain of a man
That was the description that I gave
The morning that we laid him in his grave
There with my mama by his side
We said our last goodbye
To a man we thought would never die
[Verse 8]
As I stood there in the fields of amazing grace
Oh, how the tears ran down my face
[Verse 9]
And I sang him a Dixie lullaby
We'll meet again, by and by
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby
[Verse 10]
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby
