lyrics

He was born in September in the midst of the rain
A small town right next to the tracks of the train
And to this day he can still feel the pain
Of a mother crying out gone completely insane

He opened his eyes and what did he see?
An angel and she was looking at me
She loved him to death
Even when she left
To lay in the room of that hospital bed

And daddy he always done the best that he could
To teach that boy right, make sure he done good
Learned him how to love, like any father would
Sent him as a sheep a midst the the could wolves

I wanna live my life then die on a swing
The rocking chair where we always would sing
In the field where we planted so many trees
Where the birds build their homes
And return for the spring

And I'll see my father once I've made my peace
When I've learned how to love and to forgive me
For all that I've done to make honest folks cry
I'll lean in my chair drift to sleep and I'll die
