Текст (слова) песни: Bill Anderson - This Land The Lord And Me
I never knew my mother and the closest that I came Was a picture that my daddy showed to me When he held it in two calloused hands and told me son don`t cry This is how the Lord intended things to be Daddy told me mom grew weaker on the night that I was born How she sufferend and the doctor didn`t come And when daddy told his Maker Lord if it be Thy will please take her How the good Lord took his wife and gave a son As a kid I watched my daddy carve a living from the land Then when nighttime came he held me on his knee And prayed the Lord would let him live till I became a man My daddy loved this land the Lord and me Now I`ve been through a war where many died and never got a scratch And enough of dad rubbed off on me to know how I came back I`m a living proof the man upstairs still lives and cares and answers The prayers of the man who loved this land the Lord and me
