Fingers To The Bone Lyrics - Singles - Brandon Rhyder

My daddy's knuckles were always bloody 

From workin on our hand me down cars 

He'd tell me son the only way to get ahead 

Is work your fingers to the bone 

Gave him the finger and I walked away 

I wouldn't listen to a thing he'd say 

And now that he's not here, I want him to know 

I knew he worked his fingers to the bone 

My momma always knew of my indiscretions 

But she always had an ear for me 

She'd take me to the church and make me listen 

Pray to God on a bended knee 

I said I hate you and I walked away 

I wouldn't listen to a thing she'd say 

One day I turned around and she was gone 

I knew she worked her fingers to the bone 

Last night I read my son a bedtime story 

And he looked up at me 

He told me daddy you know I love you 

Daddy please don't leave 

But there will come a day he''ll walk away 

And he won't listen to a word I say 

Then one day he'll wake up, and he'll know 

His daddy worked his fingers to the bone 

His daddy worked his fingers to the bone 

His momma worked her fingers to the bone 

All we tried to do is give you a home 

Yeah nobody tried to steer you wrong 

Cause everybody works their fingers to the bone
