He Didn't Do

Them Wrangler jeans, Copenhagen ring Daddy packed one every morning He paid the bills, working in the field Tired as hell, but he didn't show it Always putting food on the table Making sure we were able to live a damn good life Back when I was kid, I admired what he did But as I get older I find He never missed that Sunday service Never earned a thing without hard working Never made my momma cry Never scared to say what was on his mind Never let us do without Wouldn't let his age start to wear him down Never listened to nobody tellin' him no But brother I'm tellin' you He taught me a lot with all he did But I learned everything from all he didn't do Yeah, he spent the time teaching me to drive That 'ole five speed Chevrolet Daylight to dark out in the yard Working on my baseball swing Watching him, I'm betting that he thought Those lessons were all I'd need to get by But when I look back in my mind He never missed that Sunday service Never earned a thing without hard working Never made my momma cry Never scared to say what was on his mind Never let us do without Wouldn't let his age start to wear him down Never listened to nobody tellin' him no But brother I'm tellin' you He taught me a lot with all he did But I learned everything from all he didn't do Never one for dressing up But I know he will someday We'll gather round that dirt and stone And hear that preacher say He never missed that Sunday service Never earned a thing without hard working Never made my momma cry Never scared to say what was on his mind Never let us do without Wouldn't let his age start to wear him down Never listened to nobody tellin' him no But brother I'm tellin' you He taught me a lot with all he did But I learned everything from all he didn't do From all he didn't do
