Lyrics

Right after school, 5 days a week, hands in the dirt, planting seeds Daddy said it would get us through the winter Well like any 8 year old would do, I had to find the answer to A question that I couldn't understand So I asked Dad, "What does it take to make this garden grow?" He looked at me, smiled and said "If you really want to know" It takes a sun that shines A sky that rains Dirt that's richer than sugar cane It takes the right time of year A good piece of land The right tool for the job in your hand And as the days go by, son it may seem slow But with a little bit of hard work, And a whole lot of love, It'll grow Right outta school, I was running around, she came home from that college town The prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen It didn't take too long before I knew, I was in love and she was too But scared to death cause I didn't know what to do So I asked Dad, "What does it take to make a young love grow?" He raised his head, Lowered his voice, "Son when you know, you'll know" Cause It takes a hand to hold A heart that's true From now on son it ain't all about you It takes a lifetime to get there Through the good times and heartache So just be sure to give more than you take And as the years go by, son it may seem slow But with a little bit of hard work, and a whole lot of love it'll grow So I took his words to heart We got married and made a brand new start Then the day came we were filled with tears of joy As the doctor entered the room and said it's a boy Then I asked Dad, "What does it take to raise a boy like me?" He just laughed and shook his head, And said "Son you have all you need" Cause It takes the strength of a father The care of a mother More love to give than you knew you had It's a wild and crazy journey At times it's tough but don't worry There's not a single moment that you would ever take back And as the years fly by, son it won't seem slow Cause with a little bit of hard work, and a whole lot of love You'll watch him grow Like I watched you grow
