Lyrics
Verse 1
Old man Carter signed the deed one morn,
Said, “Kids need grass more than this thorn,
Flatbed rolled in where the weeds once grew,
Dreams took shape in the morning dew.
Verse 2
Tom brought dozers, Jim brought steel,
Gravel dust flyin’ from a hundred wheels,
Mamas cooked while the dads laid lines,
Sunburned backs and borrowed time.
[Solo]
Verse 3
Friday nights we passed the hat,
Baked goods sold and raffles ran,
No grants, no loans, no outside call,
Just hometown faith and a long work haul.
Chorus
We built it by our own hands,
For the future of this land,
Every nail and painted line,
Says these kids are yours and mine.
From the crack of bats to the splashin’ sand,
That park stands strong cause we took a stand,
Yeah, we built it by our own hands.
Bridge
There’s a stage out back for a fiddle and song,
Picnic lights when the days run long,
Water slides and pavilion shade,
Birthdays, reunions, memories made.
Outro
Now when the crowd cheers and the lights glow bright,
We see ourselves in the Friday night,
What we left behind, what we understand
A future built by our own hands.
