| Way Back home where the cypress grew
|
| In a clapboard shack on the black bayou
|
| Live a woman and a man that I call Mom and Dad
|
| And Times were hard and times were tough
|
| We barely had nothing’but we didn’t need much
|
| Except for the love of a woman and a man
|
| Daddy worked his fingers to the bone
|
| But I know my mamma was the reason he was strong
|
| Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
|
| The seeds don’t sprout and the crops won’t grow
|
| Even though you’ve done the best you can
|
| And when you’re livin in a house that u don’t own
|
| And the money in the bank is almost gone
|
| The only thing in life I know that stands
|
| Is the love between a woman and a man
|
| Well, I grew up workin like my daddy did
|
| Broke the land with my hands and the money rolled in But it wasn’t enough and I did not understand
|
| You see, the only thing that matters money can’t buy
|
| And when it gets down the bottom line
|
| It’s the love you find between a woman and a man
|
| Everything Daddy said to me was true
|
| 'Cause my life was not complete until I found you
|
| Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
|
| The seeds don’t sprout and the crops won’t grow
|
| Even though you’ve done the best you can
|
| Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
|
| The seeds don’t sprout and the crops won’t grow
|
| Even though you’ve done the best you can
|
| Only thing in life that stands
|
| Is the love between a woman and a man |
