Man Of His Word

[Verse 1]
My dad was from a different place in town we live today
He believed everyone should be up before the break of day
That a man should earn his living by the sweat of his brow
And a marriage was a lifetime vow
Round town he never had to sign on no dotted line
'Cause a handshake from him would do just fine
It's hard to find that kind of man in this day's world
He was a man of his word

[Chorus]
He'd say
You've got to give a man a full-days work for his pay
Don't stop and listen to what everybody's got to say
But take the time to help your fellow man
Know what you believe and take a stand
Always live your life for the good Lord
And be a man of his word

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I thank my dad for teaching me all the things he did
Taking me to church on Sunday when I was a kid
Where I found Jesus between the fire and the brimstone
I heard made me a man of his word

[Chorus]
He'd say
You've got to give a man a full-days work for his pay
Don't stop and listen to what everybody's got to say
But take the time to help your fellow man
Know what you believe and take a stand
Always live your life for the good Lord
And be a man of his word

[Outro]
Always live your life for the good Lord
And be a man of his word
