Father's Land

I recall every word and lesson at the diner up the street

And every answer to every question always came in threes

Never once told me what to do but you taught me to be free

And the way that you loved my mama is the way you loved me

There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree

Though I came from another world

You made a home for me

I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree

That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be

You stand for what you stand on as a farmer of the land

You know we dug a little deeper by the dirt upon our hands

You raise the grass and I’ll raise a song

So I think you’ll understand

Trying to make the world beautiful

And do the best that we can

There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree

Though I came from another world

You made a home for me

I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree

That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be

There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree

Though I came from another world

You made a home for me

I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree

That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be
