| He said son wont you lend an ear to what I have to say
|
| Ive been down this road before and I think I know the way
|
| He said I cant help but see thats quite the load you bear
|
| You better lose that attitude if you wanna get somewhere
|
| You look at me as if you see a worthless man
|
| Well dont be fooled son by the dirt on these hands
|
| He said never judge a man by the clothes that he wears
|
| Dont take for granted that he chose the cross he bears
|
| You cant put him down for who he is or what he does
|
| Cause you dont dig the holes that he dug
|
| He said son this road of lifes been known to take its toll
|
| Ive hit all the rough spots, every ditch and every hole
|
| Theres just so many paths but wrong or rights a choice
|
| Dont let what you think you know throw you off course
|
| He said slow down son and take it all in stride
|
| Take your time, along with this advice,
|
| (chorus|solo)

|
| You cant put him down for who he is or what he does
|
| Cause you dont dig the holes he dug |
