My Father’s Son (Dan Colehour, Scooter Carusoe)

As recorded by Montgomery Gentry, on “Carrying On”

C G

Old white washed barn doors

D

Rain rusted tin

C G

Straw packed shirt and blue jeans

D

Hangin' in the wind

C G D

There's never time for these bones to mend

C G

Up before the sun dries

D

The frost on my fields

C G

I've got the diesel burnin'

D

Turnin' these four wheels

C G D

Across this land I been handed down

C G D

Feel my roots run deep in this ground

Chorus:

G D

So stand me up tall in this seat

C G D

Lord help me guide this plow beneath my feet

G D

And turn this earth over one more time

C G D

Some say this way of life is done

C G

But not for my father's son

C G

Three Generations

D

Before I ever came

C G

Cut back these timbers

D

And bet their lives on grain

C G D

And I want to see just once before I die

C G D

Us doin' more than just barely getting by

Chorus

Solo CGDCGD

C G

Now and then I walk my fence

D

Down by the old country road

C G

And watch the cars go rushin' by

D

And disappear like ghosts

C G D

Out where the sky meets the amber waves

C G D

Yeah I'm a rock in this land God made

Chorus

CGD Fade Out

My Fathers Son
