Lyrics
daddy Sam was a workin man
he drove a John Deere into town
always had a funny line
waiting to use it at the rightt time
like whittle life down to bite size pieces and
it can be sweet like good Georgia peaches
Actions speak louder than words.
so then he say "GET BACK TO WORK!"
he'd say Fool Fool Fool
life aint that long
Fool Fool Fool
pay attention to Daddys Sams song
he passed away in '78
I think about him all the time
little imagination is all it takes
to hear him saying those loveable lines
life is short but awful sweet" or
Dot all the I's and cross all the T's
lying to me is worse than a thief
go get me some sweet ice tea.
he said Fool Fool Fool
you ain't here long
Fool Fool Fool
pay attention to Daddys Sams song
he told me 'son man can't live on bread alone
food ain't your only need
if you find a place where you belong
bow down on your hands and knees
he said Fool Fool Fool
we ain't here long
Fool Fool Fool
pay attention to Daddys Sams song
he said Fool Fool Fool
we ain't here long
Fool Fool Fool
pay attention to Daddys Sams song
