Bobby Powers

You left for work each morning before the sun came up,
you put your forty years in but it wasn't quite enough,
you put a couple bucks down when you got a hunch
and I never heard you complaining all that much

It hits me in the spring of every year
I think about you and I wonder where
Your life has taken you, are you still here
I thought your words were dumb but now
They've become clear to me "To Me"

Every day you wife packed a brown bag with your lunch,
it never seemed like much but it must have been enough,
you had 6 kids and lots of bill, it had to be real tough,
but I've never heard you talking about you too much

It hits me in the spring of every year
I think about you and I wonder where
Your life has taken you, are you still here
I thought your words were dumb but now
They've become clear to me

Did you always speak the truth
Did you always speak the truth
Did you always speak the truth
Did you always speak the truth
To me

Now I've grown up I got a family of my own
I go to work each morning and I chip
Away the stone and sometimes when its dark
And I'm feeling all alone,I think about the
Way you worked you fingers to the bone

It hits me in the spring of every year
I think about you and I wonder where
Your life has taken you, are you still here
I thought your words were dumb but now
They've become clear to me

Did you always speak the truth
Did you always speak the truth
Did you always speak the truth
Did you always speak the truth

All you meant to say was that I
would learn the truth someday
All you meant to say was that I
would learn the truth someday
All you meant to say was that I
would learn the truth someday
All you meant to say was that I
would learn the truth someday

All you meant to say was that I
(I Remember you)
Would learn the truth someday
(hey Bobby hey)
All you meant to say was that I
(I Remember you)
Would learn the truth someday
(hey Bobby hey)

HEY!
