Way back home where the cyprass grew
in a clapboard shack on the black bayou
Lived a women and a man i called mom and dad
and times were hard and time were tough
We barely had nothin but we didnt need much
Except for the love a women and a man
Chorus:
Everybody knows if the cold wind blows
the seeds dont sprout and the crops wont grow
even though you've done the best you can
and when youre livin in a house that you dont own
and the money in the bank is almost gone
the only thing in life i know that stands
is the love between a women and a man
well i grew up workin like my daddt did
broke the land with my hands and the money rolled in
but it wasnt enough and i didnt understand
you see the only thing that matters that money cant buy
and when it gets right down to the bottom line
its the love between a women and a man
everything daddy said was true
cause my life was not complete until i found you
repeat chorus twice
only thing in life that stands
is the love between a women and a man
