I use to love to walk behind my daddy As he plowed our garden every spring Our little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy As we talked about what harvest time would bring He'd say son this whole world is like a garden And what you sow your surely gonna reap Where bitter seeds are planted hearts will harden But a caring hand will make the harvest sweet And he was sowin' love for the family Yeah, he was sowin' love, he took a little extra time Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest Like a good father does he was sowin' love How I use to love and sit and watch my momma Workin' with her needle and her thread So patiently she'd listen to our problems And we knew she heard every word we said She'd say, "Children this old world is full of scratches And in your life your bound to have a few" I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches So we could start each day out feelin' new Yes, she was sowin' love for the family She was sowin' love, she took a little extra time Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest Like a good momma does she was sowin' love Yeah, they were sowin' love for the family They were sowin' love, they took a little extra time Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest They took good care of us they were sowin' love Yeah, they did it all for us they were sowin' love
