VERSE 1: 
 
                 G               C        D           G  
Pack an old cane pole across the shoulder through the woods 
              G               D       
To the fishin hole I tried to keep up the best I could 
   C        D    G             C                 D      G   
He answered with love, All the questions of this little man 
      C                        Em                 D  
Daddy taught me about life  in words I could understand 

                       G 
You gotta roll up your sleeves 
         G    D         C   
Put your back into your work son 
  D    C   G                      D  
Always believe in the good Lord's way            
                    C 
You gotta hold your mouth right 
                          G       Bm  C  
When you're going for the big one                
               G    C  G          D      G        C G   
Once you get a line on love don't let it get away

VERSE 2: 
 
              G           C         D     G   
Drivin my old car that he worked on after school 
                G            D      
He's a football star and his daddy's a proud old fool 
       C     D   G             C         D       G    
It's a brand new world full of girls and teenage dreams 
            C                        Em               D  
And when he asked for my advice, the answer still the same

Always believe in the good Lord's way            
                    C
