His daddy taught him all about huntin' and fishin'
|
How to work on that old truck when it needed fixin'
|
How to say sir and how to say mam
|
How there ain't nothing wrong with getting dirt on your hands
|
|
Have mercy on all of the kids out there
|
Who haven't been raised to even care
|
About things like that these days
|
|
His momma used to cook every meal in the kitchen
|
She helped with his homework and taught him religion
|
SHe laid down the law and he let her know
|
Where he was going and when he'd be home
|
|
Have mercy on all of the kids out there
|
Who haven't been raised to even care
|
About things like that these days
|
|
As the years changed him from a boy to a man
|
He was blessed with a generous heart and a plan
|
Where ever life takes him wherever he's at
|
He's gonna find some way to give somthing back
|
|
Now his weekends are spent doing what he loves most
|
With 12 little angels who call him coach
|
Some have nothing an dsome are spoiled rotten
|
But when they're with him they're not forgotten
|
|
Have mercy on all of the parents out there
|
Who haven't been raised to even care
|
About things liek tat these days
|
|
As the years changed him from a boy to a man
