Way back home where the cyprass grew In a clapboard shack on the black bayou Lived a women and a man that i called mom and dad And times were hard and times were tough We barely had nothin but we didnt need much Except for the love a women and a man And daddy worked his fingers to the bone But i know my momma was the reason he was strong Refrão: Everybody knows if the cold wind blows The seeds dont sprout and the crops wont grow Even though you've done the best you can And when youre livin in a house that you dont own And the money in the bank is almost gone The only thing in life i know that stands Is the love between a women 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 wasnt enough and i did not understand, noo You see the only thing that matters that money cant buy And when it gets right down to the bottom line Its the love you find between a women and a man Everything daddy said was true Cause my life was not complete until i found you Refrão 2x Only thing in life that stands Is the love between a women and a man
