My Ol' Man - Joey+Rory
He was different
He was one of a kind
As far as daddies went
And not just cause he was mine
He could build anything
With his 2 calloused hands my old man
He drove an old truck
He could've had a newer one
Floorboards full of rust
He sure loved the way it'd run
I learned to drive in it
In the pastures on our land with my old man
One day he caught me in a lie
And with his belt he tanned my behind
I saw the teardrops in his eyes falling down
Just as hard as mine
When you're born a farmer
It's what you want your son to be
He was broken hearted
When I said I'm going Tennessee
He sold that old truck
And stuck the money in my hand
My old man
When I got on that big greyhound
With my bags full of songs and my guitar
I remember looking down
And him yellin' son remember who you are
He fought a good fight
But in the end it took him down
We told him goodbye
Then we prayed him in the ground
Now he's with Jesus
Walking in the promise land
My old man
I'm so proud when people say
Just how much I am
Like my old man
