You stood on that bank when I got baptized

At sixteen you caught me drinking out in the barn  
G 
I could hear you cheering when we won state  
    Em7 
And you held my hand at Grandma's grave  
    C9                                      G 
And I'll always be thankful you never sold the farm

Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls  
                                D          Em7 
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night  
C9                D 
Five foot six to the top of your hat  
             Em7                                   C9 
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman  
                     D                   Em7 
American born simple man with a southern drawl

That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest  
    C9                                      G
