lyrics

That was our land before Route 66
Back when times were hard
Mama never smiled for a photograph
In fact she never smiled at all
Daddy was a hardworking man
A salt of the earth kinda guy
He said you ain’t nothing unless you work hard
And he worked till the day that he died

I can still hear him saying to me
Money don’t grow on trees
You gotta get down on your hands and your knees
And work your fingers to the bone

I got a job in carpentry
And building out of stone
I even tried my hand as company man
To pay down some of loans
Went door to door and I don’t know what for
Nearly killed for low pay
Then I got hired bailin wire
All work no play

I can still hear him saying to me
Money don’t grow on trees
You gotta get down on your hands and your knees
And work your fingers to the bone

The day finally came
When pop passed away
And he left me a little piece of land
99 tree on every acre
He planted each one by hand
Years went by and the fruit started to fly
Making money was a breeze
I never I’d see it but now I believe it
Money really does grow on trees

I wish that he was here talking to me
I’d tell him money really does grow on trees
But you gotta get down on your hands and your knees
And work your fingers to the bone
