LYRICS:
Everything about my daddy’s life was ordinary
Fame and fortune never came his way
The best thing that he ever had was the loving wife he married
He’d hold my momma close and softly say
This little ol’ life, it just suits me fine
And this little ol’ house, well at least it’s mine
My little ol’ dreams have all come true
‘Cause of little ol’ love and little ol’ you
All the years my Daddy spent just trying to earn a living
Are years that I spent trying to get ahead
Struggling to be content with what I had been given
And trying to believe the words he said
CHORUS
Now from high atop my rocking chair I gaze out on the lessons
That a lifetime of living’s meant to show
How all I really needed was your love to bring me blessings
And time, to make me wise enough to know
CHORUS
