Musical tap dance rains falling
striking the roof top
i kind of like it
(Hope it never stops)
old southern ways, hard and strong
people who knew right from wrong
Way back, good old yesterdays
people stuck together
when a persons word
was their bond
because your reputation
made your character stand for you
from the cradle to the grave
the same folks everybody knew
word got around about
what was what and who was who
When all food was hand made.
people’s homes were built pre-paid
with neighbors, always there
ready to give a helping hand
friendly neighbors young and old
grew up together and heard the same stories told
people who would understand
the joy and pains of life's demands.
Those who would be there
to help each other
And make-do.
One love for each truth
we'd come together
after the days work was done
Whether to share grief
or just have fun.
Hard work like simple truth
will never go out of style.
By city block or country mile...
