Simple Man Solid Ground

I’m a simple man with Some dirt on my boots A little gray in my beard Still holding to the truth I’ve seen hard roads I’ve carried some weight But the good Lord met me At the end of my faith I don’t need the spotlight Don’t need a big name I just want to walk steady And honor His name When He calls I’ll go When He speaks I’ll stand Trying to be useful In the Master’s hands Morning coffee open Book Sunrise through the trees Praying Lord use this old man Any way You please I’ve learned real riches Don’t come from gold They come from a faithful heart And a hand to hold I’ve got a few things Money can’t replace A little mercy A whole lot of grace When this world gets loud I know where I stand God above family close Solid ground beneath my hands I’m a simple man But I’ve been blessed God first family next And I’ll give Him my best My red haired queen She’s strong as they come Still takes my breath away When the day is done Two proud sons Three grandbabies running wild That’s my treasure that’s my reason That’s my smile And that old flag Waving high in the wind I’m a simple man Proud of where I’ve been I married up no doubt Let the whole world know She’s got fire in her heart And a faith that shows Beautiful smile steady hands Tough as steel She’s walked through storms Most folks could never feel She’s my best friend My prayer at night The one who stood beside Me when the road got tight When I was running low She kept believing When I couldn’t see hope She kept me breathing She’s more than pretty She’s courage and grace A God sent blessing I don’t deserve to embrace So I thank the Lord For the woman she is For every hard earned I’m still here kiss I’m a simple man But I’ve been blessed God first, family next And I’ll give Him my best My red-haired queen She’s strong as they come Still takes my breath away When the day is done Two proud sons Three grandbabies running wild That’s my treasure that’s my reason That’s my smile And that old flag Waving high in the wind I’m a simple man Proud of where I’ve been Got two boys grown And I’m proud of their names Watched ’em find their footing Watched ’em fight their way They ain’t perfect none of us are But they’re mine And I thank God every day For the men they’ve become in time Then those grandbabies come Storming through the door Little boots on the floor Always wanting more Three bright lights with Their whole lives ahead I’m trying to leave ’em something Stronger than words I said A legacy of faith A love that stays A Papa Bear who showed up Who kneeled down and prayed A life that says Stand tall But stay kind Keep the Lord in your heart And your people on your mind I’ve served this country And I’m proud of that road Carried the duty Carried the load For the freedom to worship For the home that I know For the red, white And blue wherever I go I’ll stand for the fallen I’ll pray for the brave For the ones who gave all And the ones we couldn’t save But above every title that This life has given me I’m a servant of the King That’s who I’ll always be I’m not chasing fortune I’m not chasing fame I’m chasing a life that Brings honor to His name A good woman beside me My boys standing tall Grandkids in the yard That’s worth more than it all Got a flag on the porch And a cross in my soul Got scars from the road But the Lord made me whole I’ve been blessed beyond measure That much is true Simple man solid ground Red white and blue I’m a simple man But I’ve been blessed God first, family next And I’ll give Him my best My red haired queen She’s strong as they come Still takes my breath away When the day is done Two proud sons Three grandbabies running wild That’s my treasure that’s my reason That’s my smile And that old flag Waving high in the wind I’m a simple man Proud of where I’ve been A man doesn’t need Much to be rich A Savior to follow A wife to love Children and grandchildren to cherish A country worth serving That’s enough for me
