I knew a man a long long time
|
But I never knew him at all
|
Small in stature, big at heart
|
Oh, he always stood tall
|
|
From the time that he was born
|
He had a style all his own
|
In my mind he could do no wrong
|
Misunderstood all along
|
|
He worked hard all his life
|
To get what he has today
|
We would all be better off, if we could
|
Hear those words that he had to say
|
|
He was a little rough around the edges
|
And thru it all, we all knew he was
|
A little rough around the edges
|
Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you
|
(Oh for you, for you)
|
|
He took me by the hand
|
And said son, what's your plan
|
I won't stop you or stand in your way
|
Someday you'll be a man
|
|
I looked at him with hungry eyes
|
That only youth can know
|
With all his wisdom and all his years
|
He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Don't stop now, keep moving
|
Don't worry about where you're going, I'll hear you
|
You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go
|
|
Chorus
|
|
He was a little rough around the edges
|
He was a little rough around the edges
|
Simple in mind, oh oh
|
Simple in mind, oh oh
|
|

Rough Around The Edges
