Verse 1 We grew up where the wells ran deep, Southern country dust on our feet, Outhouse out back, summer heat on the tin, Mama kept the house, Daddy fixed everything. Didn’t know money was something we lacked, ’Cause love filled the rooms that the world said we lacked. Pre Chorus Back then it felt like chores and rules, But now I see they built my tools. Chorus Looking back from where I stand I see the strength in Daddy’s hands And Mama’s quiet grace that held us all together They hardly said the words out loud But their love was steady, strong, and proud And it’s carried me through every kind of weather Verse 2 Daddy didn’t hire help, he just said “Come on, boys,” Handed us a hammer like it was one of our toys. Painted what was needed, patched every roof, Teaching us work was the way to tell truth. Mama kept the rhythm of the home each day, Soft as a hymn, strong as Texas clay. Bridge We weren’t poor, not the way folks think, We had friends in the yard and water to drink. Supper on the table, laughter in the hall, Two good parents who gave us it all. Now I carry their lessons wherever I roam, And every road I walk still leads me home. Final Chorus Looking back from where I stand I see the strength in Daddy’s hands And Mama’s quiet grace that held us all together They never said the words out loud But their love was steady, strong, and proud And it’s carried me through every kind of weather
