Street Dogs - 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 (x4) "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 (x4)
All you meant to say was that I
Would learn the truth someday (x3)
All you meant to say was that I
(I Remember you)
Would learn the truth someday
(hey Bobby hey) (x2)
HEY!
