(Chris Cagle/Kenny Mims)
Way Back home where the cypress grew
In a clapboard shack on the black bayou
Live a woman and a man that I call Mom and Dad
And Times were hard and times were tough
We barely had nothing` but we didn`t need much
Except for the love of a woman and a man
Daddy worked his fingers to the bone
But I know my mamma was the reason he was strong
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
The seeds don`t sprout and the crops won`t grow
Even though you`ve done the best you can
And when you`re livin in a house that u don`t own
And the money in the bank is almost gone
The only thing in life I know that stands
Is the love between a woman and a man
Well, I grew up workin like my daddy did
Broke the land with my hands and the money rolled in
But it wasn`t enough and I did not understand
You see, the only thing that matters money can`t buy
And when it gets down the bottom line
It`s the love you find between a woman and a man
Everything Daddy said to me was true
`Cause my life was not complete until I found you
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
The seeds don`t sprout and the crops won`t grow
Even though you`ve done the best you can
And when you`re livin in a house that u don`t own
And the money in the bank is almost gone
The only thing in life I know that stands
Is the love between a woman and a man
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
The seeds don`t sprout and the crops won`t grow
Ooohhh
And when you`re livin in a house that u don`t own
And the money in the bank is almost gone
The only thing in life I know that stands
Is the love between a woman and a man
The only thing in life I know that stands
Is the love between a woman and a man
