Growing Up Like That - Rodney Atkins

Growing Up Like That - Rodney Atkins
I was 12 years old with some bolts and a wrench
A piece of plywood that
Was 3/4 inch and daddy said son once your chores are one
I'll give you one
Of them gris old barn poles
I went out in the pasture with no cow patties
Got some post hole diggers
And I got after it Had some sun on my back and
A blister on my hand but man I had myself a goal
I dribbles that ball till the grass was gone
And the ground was brown and Flat
Me and Daddy played horse
And the cows all "mooed" and we laughed
I Was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that
I learned the birds and the bee's from the cats
And the dogs
