Coursegold Mornings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Long highway hummin' in the dark Diesel engines, weary hearts A working man with calloused hands Doing all that he can Weekends home, then gone again That's how the road shaped him [Chorus] Oh Jim, you taught me how to stand Sweat and pride in every plan Through the dust and through the rain Through the years, through the pain What I am, I am because of you Every nail I drive, every promise true [Verse 2] A horse run off, a muddy ride That motorcycle, side by side You pushed me out, I gunned it free Threw the mud all over thee Coursegold mornings, golden light A boy who watched his hero ride [Chorus] Oh Jim, you taught me how to stand Sweat and pride in every plan Through the dust and through the rain Through the years, through the pain What I am, I am because of you Every nail I drive, every promise true [Bridge] Seven years old, the door it closed I tried to be the man I knowed J.J.&D, our family name Mowin' lawns through sun and rain Angry years, then a daughter's cry Taught me how, taught me why [Verse 3] Now your hands they tremble slow But your strength, it still shows Miles apart, but heart to heart Dad, you gave me every part I forgive, I understand You did the best a father can [Chorus] Oh Jim, you taught me how to stand Sweat and pride in every plan Through the dust and through the rain Through the years, through the pain What I am, I am because of you Every nail I drive, every promise true [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my friend I'll love you 'til the very end
