Things Like That (these Days) Lyrics - Revelation - Joe Nichols

His daddy taught him all about huntin and fishin 

How to work on that old truck when it needed fixin 

How to say sir and how to say mam 

How their ain't nothing wrong with getting dirt on your hands 

[Chorus] 

Have mercy on all of the kids out there 

Who haven't been raised to even care 

About things like that these days 

His momma used to cook every meal in the kitchen 

She helped with his homework and taught him religion 

She laid down the law and he let her know 

Where he was going and when he'd be home 

Have mercy on all of the kids out there 

Who haven't been raised to even care 

About things like that these days 

As the years changed him from a boy to a man 

He was blessed with a generous heart and a plan 

Wherever life takes him wherever he's at 

He's gonna find some way to give something back 

Now his weekends are spent doing what he loves most 

With 12 little angels who call him coach 

Some have nothing and some are spoiled rotten 

But when they're with him they're not forgotten 

Have mercy on all of the parents out there 

Who haven't been raised to even care 

About things like that these days 

As the years changed him from a boy to a man 

He was blessed with a generous heart and a plan 

Wherever life takes him wherever he's at 

He's gonna find some way to give something back 

[Chorus: x 2]
