Lyrics
Except For Me Your hands were always busy From dawn to lack of light When hard times came to visit You held to what was right It took some time to realize You gave us all you had And with the bible by your side You taught us good from bad Except for me and brothers You didn’t have a care____________{Chorus But me and them three others Gave you more than your share A father always absent Though body sometimes there The role of both you carried You found the strength somewhere With clothes from friends and Goodwill And socks not quite the same We never seemed to fit in You helped us with the pain Except for me and brothers You didn’t have a care____________{Chorus But me and them three others Gave you more than your share We fought against most everything Through adolescent years And though we never meant to We caused you many tears With you as an example Somehow I made it through And goin’ down the right road The least that I could do Except for me and brothers You didn’t have a care____________{Chorus But me and them three others Gave you more than your share {Instr.Brk So Mom here is my thank you I know a little late It’s sent to you with all my love Because you were so great I hope God lets you hear this It’s meant with all my heart It’s everything I wish I’d said Before we had to part It’s everything I wish I’d said Before we had to part Copyright 2005 John W.
