about

I wrote this personal folk song for my stepfather, a grass farmer, who entered my life during my teen years and whom I now consider my real father. I have always wanted to pay homage to a family member through my songwriting.

lyrics

I recall every word and lesson at the diner up the street
And every answer to every question always came in threes
Never once told me what to do but you taught me to be free
And the way that you loved my mama is the way you loved me

There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree
Though I came from another world
You made a home for me
I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree
That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be

You stand for what you stand on as a farmer of the land
You know we dug a little deeper by the dirt upon our hands
You raise the grass and I’ll raise a song
So I think you’ll understand
Trying to make the world beautiful
And do the best that we can

There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree
Though I came from another world
You made a home for me
I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree
That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be

There are times the apple falls beneath a different tree
Though I came from another world
You made a home for me
I never know the words to say but I hope that you’ll agree
That one day I’ll be the kind of man you didn’t have to be
