lyrics

My dad was a self made man of good reputation
Born poor only 3rd grade education
Born into Jim Crow’s racist nation, sharecropping on the same land as the plantation
Drafted in 45 for the duration was happy to come back alive at the cessation
Got out the bus station a short term GI, but even with flags on his shoulder couldn’t look a white man in the eye
He said boy get your own or watch it all slip away
Don’t start something won’t be nothing one day

He found a rebirth in the bottom of the cup
Following his brothers he sipped and slipped up
Found his way to the little country church
Found a book a bible found a chapter found a verse
Found his a way past the plow and never looked behind him
Founded a church downtown homeless and hungry knew where to find
Found a family and a life no one would have predicted
Now they packing the church to celebrate his existence

He said boy get your own or watch it all slip
Don’t start something won’t be nothing one day
