Stories in the Firelight

[Chorus] Firelight stories in a Kansas night Smoke rising slow in the pale moonlight Daddy talks about the man he knew Says I got my heart from my granddad too I never met him but I swear it's true I see his life in the things we do Through every story passing through That old farm love still burns like truth [Verse 1] Daddy says granddad worked that land With busted knuckles and weathered hands Sun came up and he'd already been Two hours deep in a working wind Says he loved one woman all his days Brought her roses every Valentine’s Kissed her quick before he'd go Just like daddy does before he rolls [Pre-Chorus] He says some things never fade away They just get passed down man to man [Chorus] Firelight stories in a Kansas night Smoke rising slow in the pale moonlight Daddy talks about the man he knew Says I got my heart from my granddad too I never met him but I swear it's true I see his life in the things we do Through every story passing through That old farm love still burns like truth [Verse 2] He taught my dad how to hold his ground When the hard years tried to drag him down Said grow up tough and grow up strong But love your woman all life long Like she's the only soul alive Underneath God's open sky That's the way he lived his days That's the way our family stays [Bridge] And someday when my hair turns gray And my own boy asks me someday About the man I never knew I'll tell the stories daddy told me too [Final Chorus] Firelight stories in a Kansas night Smoke rising slow in the pale moonlight Granddad's love still shining through In every little thing we do And if this old farm stands a hundred years Past these songs and passing tears Some kid will sit right where I do Hearing how that love stayed true [Outro] Yeah that homemade love stayed true
