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!
