I was watchin? cartoons on a Saturday morning
F (G) C
And I heard daddy start the truck
F C
I came runnin? from the house and waved him down
G C
Cause he was makin? a run to the dump
F C
We watched the Bears and licked ice cream cones
F C
Take a little walk around
F Am
I?ll never forget what my daddy said
G C
The day we pulled that bike from the ground
F C
He said one man?s trash is another man?s gold
F C
If it's thrown away it's free to take
Am G
A little oil she?ll be good to go
F
So I rode that bicycle home
G
Thumbs up, daddy honkin? on the horn
F C G C
I got my first job workin? on a dairy farm
F (G) C
Drivin? tractor and bailin? hay
F C
I?d have to circle around a bog in the ground
G C
Where sat an old Mustang ?58
F C
One evenin? I asked that farmer
F C
Why that car was just wastin? away
F Am
He said you can have it for free it don't mean nothin? to me
G C
And I couldn?t help but think
F C
One man?s trash is another man?s gold
F C
What someone will throw away is a crying shame
Am G
So I towed that Mustang home
F
Till she could be restored
G
I got that engine to roar
And boy did that engine roar
(Instrumental Break)
F C G C
It was an awkward blind date we met at a park
F (G) C
She had her little girl taggin? along
F C
Her beautiful smile hadn?t been out in a while
G C
She was a hard working single mom
F C
In time I learned he?d left her
F C
He said ?I'm just way too young
F Am
To be having a kid, I'm not ready for this
G C
If you keep it I'm good as gone?
F C
He never looked back as she watched him go
F C
She stood there crying in the rain till one January day
G
She had a beautiful baby girl
C F
Tonight I tuck her in and read her stories
Am (G) F
And hold her mama while the sunset glows
C G C
My two arms full of this man?s gold
F C
What some men will throw away is a crying shame
Am (G) F
Those girls make our house a home
G
Yeah my cup overflows
F
With this man?s gold
C
This man?s gold
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
