This Land The Lord And Me Lyrics - Bill Anderson

I never knew my mother and the closest that I came 

Was a picture that my daddy showed to me 

When he held it in two calloused hands and told me son don't cry 

This is how the Lord intended things to be 

Daddy told me mom grew weaker on the night that I was born 

How she sufferend and the doctor didn't come 

And when daddy told his Maker Lord if it be Thy will please take her 

How the good Lord took his wife and gave a son 

As a kid I watched my daddy carve a living from the land 

Then when nighttime came he held me on his knee 

And prayed the Lord would let him live till I became a man 

My daddy loved this land the Lord and me 

Now I've been through a war where many died and never got a scratch 

And enough of dad rubbed off on me to know how I came back 

I'm a living proof the man upstairs still lives and cares and answers 

The prayers of the man who loved this land the Lord and me
