City Boys

My ol daddy was the very best They shut down the town when they laid him to rest He held his new born Grandson on the night his death Just a few hours later he took his last breath He taught me how to hunt with a gun and a bow Something you city boys will never know We raised our own taters fresh corn and beans You city boys don't know what that means We always went to church, he taught me right from wrong The Old rugged cross was his favorite song He taught me God and family must always come first You don't want to be alone when your riding in the Hearse Now I'm working over seas and were twisting to the right You City boys wouldn't make it one night For all you City boys that don't know what that means I'm drilling for your Oil so you can stay home clean Now I've got my own family and a woman I love God and Daddy must have sent her from Heaven above
