Rodney Atkins - My Old Man Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I've got a picture of him barefoot in the mud
  • behind his grandpa's plow and two gray mules
  • when he turned ten years old in May of 1953
  • And he grew up fearing God in Washburn Tennessee
  • The closest thing he had to a dad was his Uncle Bob
  • And he could only dream of things like little league baseball
  • And that little boy with big blue eyes and calloused hands
  • became my old man
  • She was a Kentucky girl born on Valentine's Day
  • The fourth child of five to my grandma Eula May
  • So shy and beautiful with sunset hair and emerald eyes
  • her daddy spent his life working in the coal mines
  • Now in my eyes all my life my dad has been a saint
  • But even saints need angels to show them the way
  • Over 37 years ago he asked for Margaret Lynn's hand
  • And that angel married my old man
  • There were times I tried to buck the truthful things they said
  • And now I'm glad that more than once they rattled my stubborn head
  • My folks are just like mountains I looked at from afar
  • But now the closer I get to them the bigger they are
  • Time seems to fly anymore and the holidays are so far apart
  • There's no way a phone call could express what's in my heart
  • So this is just a song to say how thankful I am
  • For mama and my old man
  • For mama and my old man
