On My Family Tree
©2007 Townley/Galbraith

Red-dirt poor pedigree
Farmer's tan, a working man's mentality
Roots run deep as they are proud
A history of holding on and holding out

Chorus 1
Seeds of faith sown in this ground of mine
A steady stream of hope for when the dreams run dry
Worst of times won't get the best of me
Cause giving up don't grow on my family tree

No tailgate, rusty hood
Dented door, but it's paid for and running good
Sagging porch, leaky roof
Don't get me down cause what I've got is weatherproof

Chorus 2
Faith in God and an honest life
Love my country, my two kids, and my wife
These lean times won't get the best of me
Cause giving up don't grow on my family tree

(Bridge)
Break of dawn starts a new day again
Fields need tending so my family can be fed
I keep digging in this soil of mine
Knowing that there'll come a harvest time

Daddy was a dust bowl child
Born in Boise City, 1935
Leathered skin, sweat-soaked brow
Calloused hands from drawing life out of the ground

Chorus 3
Poured his soul into this land
Breaking back and giving thanks for what he had
Buried him where they'll bury me
Resting in the shade, of my family tree
