Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Dixie Lullaby Oleh Pat Green

Verse One:
My father had skin like leather, hands like steel
From a lifetime spent in cotton fields
And though he’d come home tired and dirty almost every night
He found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tight
While that old transistor radio would play the Opry out in the hall
I’d sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall

Chorus:
And they danced to a dixie lullaby
A picture of love beneath the southern sky
Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a dixie lullaby

Verse Two:
I left home at eighteen in a hand-me-down Chevrolet
Packed with my momma’s cooking and my old man’s stubborn ways
It was college, work and love and then the babies came
The youngest one got his granddaddy’s name
And in the early morning hours when my children could not sleep
I’d rock them in my arms to a gentle beat

Chorus Two:
I sang them a dixie lullaby
Hush baby don’t you start to cry
Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a dixie lullaby

Verse Three:
My father was a mountain of a man, that was the description that I gave
The morning that we laid him in his grave
There with my mama by his side, I said my last goodbye
To a man I thought would never die
And as I stood there in that field of amazing grace
Oh how the tears ran down my face

Chorus Three:
And I sang him a dixie lullaby
We’ll meet again by and by
Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a dixie lullaby
Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a dixie lullaby
