Bobby Powers

You left for work each morning before the sun
Came up, you put your forty years in but it
Wasn’t quite enough, you put a couple bucks
Down when you got a hunch and I never heard
You complaining all that much
It hits me in the spring of every year
I think about you and I wonder where
Your life has taken you, are you still here
I thought your words were dumb but now
They’ve become clear to me «To Me»
Every day you wife packed a brown bag with
Your lunch, it never seemed like much but
It must have been enough, you had 6 kids
And lots of bill, it had to be real tough, but
I’ve never heard you talking about you too much
It hits me in the spring of every year
I think about you and I wonder where
Your life has taken you, are you still here
I thought your words were dumb but now
They’ve become clear to me
Did you always speak the truth «To Me»
Now I’ve grown up I got a family of my own
I go to work each morning and I chip
Away the stone and sometimes when its dark
And I’m feeling all alone, I think about the
Way you worked you fingers to the bone
It hits me in the spring of every year
I think about you and I wonder where
Your life has taken you, are you still here
I thought your words were dumb but now
They’ve become clear to me
Did you always speak the truth
All you meant to say was that I
Would learn the truth someday
All you meant to say was that I
(I Remember you)
Would learn the truth someday
(hey Bobby hey)
HEY!
