He worked those fields and raised a family

He believed that was how it oughta be

He had that way about him that let you know

He always put a hundred heart and soul

He left this earth when I was young

Be he left behind something to carry on


It's in my blood it's in my soul

It keeps me going makes me whole

I didn't know him long but I learned a lot

You gotta make the best with what you got

I'll carry that name, every part of it

And live my life of grit


Some days I think about him

Sitting up there on his cloud

I wonder if he's looking down at me

I really wonder if I make him proud


It's in my blood it's in my soul

It keeps me going makes me whole

I didn't know him long but I learned a lot

You gotta make the best with what you got

I'll carry that name, every part of it

And live my life of grit


It's in my blood it's in my soul

It keeps me going makes me whole

I didn't know him long but I learned a lot

You gotta make the best with what you got

I'll carry that name, every part of it

And live my life of grit
