Well my dog got hit
By a man with no attention to pay
He must've been runnin' low on money that day
Everybody's in a hurry to get nowhere
At least they're movin'
Cuz I'm stuck here
Been in this town
Since I was born
With the same ole faces
And the same smiles worn
And everyone here talks
About my cousins and kin
Actin' like they're any better
Than the skin we're in
Daddy said son don't let no one walk on your name
If they can't leave their boots at the door
They need to forget why they came
I don't talk no shit
And that's one thing that I don't take
Daddy taught me how to throw a punch
And how to throw one straight
Me and my grandpa was as tight
As a banjo string
But on that July day
I hated to see that string break
He said mind your momma
And I know that you'll be fine
Just keep your word
And boy keep it between the lines
Don't forget where you came from son you ain't that tall
Don't forget about your folks back home
Boy give them a call
If you say you're gonna do something son
You better give it your all
Cuz a man that don't keep his word ain't no man at all
I often think of that old timer
And the tales he'd tell
And the laughs we had
Down in that old feed mill
I always looked up to him
And I still do today
Now that he's gone I'll be lookin up til my grave
Til my grave
