Sweat & Time

(mmm-hmm) Old screen door squeaks when the evening blows in Coffee’s getting cold

on the porch again Got a pair of work boots resting by

the mat Spent twelve long hours under a faded cap

Calloused hands and a pocket full of change

Watching rain clouds roll across the mountain range

It’s a hard-earned living for a piece of mind

Trading my sweat for a little more time Ain’t chasing diamonds,

ain’t chasing gold Just a honest day’s work and a hand to

hold Yeah, money comes and money goes,

that’s true

But the best things in life are the ones you do

Supper’s on the stove,

smell of fried green tomatoes

Little bit of chicken and mashed potatoes

Kids in the yard chasing fireflies round Laughter bouncing off this quiet

ground Don't need a mansion sitting on a hill

When the love in this house keeps the whole world still

It’s a hard-earned living for a piece of mind

Trading my sweat for a little more time Ain’t chasing diamonds,

ain’t chasing gold Just a honest day’s work and a hand to

hold Yeah, money comes

and money goes, that’s true

But the best things in life are the ones you do

Sometimes the bank account runs a little low

When the crops grow slow and the wild winds blow

But we count our blessings when we bow our heads 'Cause we’re

rich in the things that can’t be said

It’s a hard-earned living for a piece of mind

Trading my sweat for a little more time Ain’t chasing diamonds,

ain’t chasing gold Just a honest day’s work and a hand to

hold Yeah, money comes

and money goes, that’s true

But the best things in life are the ones you do (ooh-yeah)

Yeah, the best things in life...

Are the ones right here with you.
