The old man was a good man, he raised his children right
|
taught us how to work hard and showed us how to fight
|
told me about the good lord and when to use a gun
|
made me very proud of where it is that I come from
|
|
Chorus
|
When I die put my bones in the dixiee dirt
|
look down on my smilin' I don't want no feelins' hurt
|
all I leave behind me is this ragged old guitar
|
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar
|
|
years they rolled on by, the old man turned me loose
|
waycross town I learned about them sad old country blues
|
taught me how to pour out mmy heart and try to make it rhyme
|
told me not to ever break but one law at a time
|
|
chorus
|
|
bridge
|
I hope you wear me on your memory like a faded old tattoo
|
I might not make the history book but I'll burn a page or two
