I use to love to walk behind my daddy
As he plowed our garden every spring Our little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy As we talked about what harvest time would bring He'd say son this whole world is like a garden And what you sow your surely gonna reap Where bitter seeds are planted hearts will harden But a caring hand will make the harvest sweet And he was sowin' love for the family Yeah, he was sowin' love, he took a little extra time Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest Like a good father does he was sowin' love How I use to love and sit and watch my momma Workin' with her needle and her thread So patiently she'd listen to our problems And we knew she heard every word we said She'd say, "Children this old world is full of scratches And in your life your bound to have a few" I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches So we could start each day out feelin' new Yes, she was sowin' love for the family She was sowin' love, she took a little extra time Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest Like a good momma does she was sowin' love Yeah, they were sowin' love for the family They were sowin' love, they took a little extra time Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest They took good care of us they were sowin' love Yeah, they did it all for us they were sowin' love |

Well, the guys that I work with, they work real hard
And they like to have a good time And at the end of the day, it's a time to play And they like to go and unwind And they make a lot of jokes and they laugh and they poke fun at me 'Cause I don't stay long And they can't understand why a married man Is in a hurry to ever go home And I just tell them... That of all the fun that I'm ever gonna need I've got it waiting at home for me And she likes to dance and she loves romance And she throws a great party No, there're never any dull minutes around here Something's always going on All the fun that a man could want I've got waiting for me at home Hey, I used to be a fool and a sucker for a high time Anytime, night or day I had a round-the-clock smile, just call me and I would be Readily on my way But, to tell you the truth, I was lonesome and blue Praying for a little light in my life Then a miracle came and everything changed And I made that little woman my wife And let me tell you... That of all the fun that I'm ever gonna need I've got it waiting at home for me And she likes to dance and she loves romance And she throws a great party No, there're never any dull minutes around here Something's always going on All the fun that a man could want I've got waiting for me at home We've got two little kids calling me 'daddy' Running all over the house And when they finally go to sleep, their mama and me Cuddle and we snuggle and we party on the couch Yeah, I've got all the fun that a man could want Waiting at home for me And she likes to dance and she loves romance And she throws a great party No, there're never any dull minutes around here Something's always going on All the fun that a man could want I've got waiting for me at home I said, now all the fun that a man could want I've got waiting for me at home Right at home I've got all the fun that a man could want All the fun that a man could want I've got all the fun that a man could want All the fun that a man could want |

Last night, we brought the children by to visit their grandpa
And it's plain to see they're truly part of him While we were there, their grandma took out some old photographs And he sure looked a lot like me back then I'm seeing my father in me I guess that's how it's meant to be And I find I'm more and more like him each day I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks I'm starting to see my father in me And today, I took my wife for a walk down that old dirt road Where my daddy took my mama so many times And we found the time to mention things we never had before And we shared some thoughts about the family life Yeah, I'm seeing my father in me I guess that's how it's meant to be And I find I'm more and more like him each day I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks I'm starting to see my father in me And now, looking back, I can recall the times we disagreed When I could not take hold of his old-fashioned ways And the more I tried to prove him wrong, the more I proved him right Now, I know why he still stood by me when I went through that stage I'm seeing my father in me I guess that's how it's meant to be And I find I'm more and more like him each day I notice I walk the way he walks I notice I talk the way he talks I'm starting to see my father in me And I'm happy to see my father in me |

I've heard tell of millionaires
And billionaires and such Who gathered all their treasures And still did not have enough If money could buy peace of mind I guess they'd have it all But all the money in the world Wouldn't hold you when you fall [CHORUS:] We've got a roof over our head And the kids have all been fed And the women I love most Lies close beside me in our bead Lord, give me the eyes to see Exactly what it's worth And I will be the richest man on earth Lord, when I wish I had the things That you gave someone else I pray that you'll forgive me For just thinkin' of myself I haven't been as thankful As I know I ought to be I should be more then satisfied With all you've given me (REPEAT CHORUS) Bridge: One thing is for certain It don't matter when you die If you had a million Or if you just got by (REPEAT CHORUS) Yes, I will be the richest man on earth |

If I could bottle this up,
I could make a million. I could sell everybody around On what I’ve been feeling. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face A song in your heart after one little taste Folks couldn’t get enough If I could bottle this up. If I could take you kiss And twist it into liquid form Melt it with the way I felt Here in your arms Sprinkle in a twinkle or two From your eyes A dab of this fabulous feeling inside I could really rake in the bucks If I could bottle this up, I could make a million. I could sell everybody around On what I’ve been feeling. Cause it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face A song in your heart after one little taste Folks couldn’t get enough If I could bottle this up. I can see it now People knocking down my door If I could get it on the shelf Of my local department store Nothing they could sell Would sell as fast Even if they threw in a tie or a glass Folks would just eat it up If I could bottle this up If I could bottle this up, I could make a million. I could sell everybody in town On what I’ve been feeling. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face A song in your heart after one little taste Folks couldn’t get enough If I could bottle this up. Folks just couldn’t get enough Man, they would just eat it up It really would be too much If I could bottle this up. |

We started out to walk through life hand in hand together
We ran into some trouble on the highway to forever Took a turn that turned out wrong, woke to find the feeling gone But I know that we'll recover, if we hold on to each other [Chorus:] Let's take another run at it, baby Take another run at our love Let's have a little fun with it, darlin' It don't have to be so serious Don't tell me that it's over We can pick the pieces up Let's take another run Take another run at our love Sometimes the mountain looks so high When you're standing at the bottom But once we've made it to the top You can't see the problem Right now it hurts a little bit But we've never been the kind to quit And I'll know we'll make it over We'll be rollin' in the clover [Chorus:] If we walk away and say we tried We'll never know what's on the other side [Chorus:] ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By DON SCHLITZ, PAUL OVERSTREET <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |
