Dixie Lullaby

In the style of

Pat Green

Lyrics

my father had
skin like leather
hands like steel
from the lifetime
spent in
the cotton field

and though
he'd come home
tired and dirty
almost
every night

he found
the strength to
smile at me
and hold
my mama tight

while that
old transister radio
would play the
opry out in the hall
i'd sit and watch
their shadows
glide across the wall

and they'd dance
to a dixie
lullaby
a picture of love
beneath
the southern sky

oh my what a
beautiful life
just like a dixie
lullaby

i left home
at eighteen
in a hand-me-down
chevrolet
packed my
mama's cookin'
and my old man's
stubborn ways

it was college
work and love
and then
the babies came
the youngest one
got his
granddaddy's name

and in
the early mornin'
hours
when my children
could not sleep
i'd rock them
in my arms
to the gentle beat

and sing them a dixie
lullaby
hush baby don't you
start to cry

oh my
what a
beautiful life
just like a dixie
lullaby

my father was
a mountain of a man
that was
the description
that i gave

the morning
that we laid him
in his grave

there with my mama
by his side
we said
our last goodbye
to a man
we thought
would never die

and as i stood there
in that field
of amazing grace
oh how the tears
ran down my face

and i sang him
a dixie
lullaby
we'll meet again
by and by

woh my what a
beautiful life
just like a dixie
lullaby

woh my what a
beautiful life
just like a dixie
lullaby
