Part of Me

My grandma was a teacher in a one room school      
She taught me how to live by the golden rule  
I still have her bible that she read    
I remember the things she said    
I still get down on my knees before bed    
     
My grandpaw stood tall    
He plowed those fields in summer    
Harvested in the fall    
He taught me how to plant a seed    
To give to those that are in need    
     
That strip that lies between Flat and Savage Creek is more than a piece of land    
It's a part of me and it's who I am    
No matter how far I roam    
It's always home...    
     
Daddy and momma work all their life    
They taught me how love and sacrifice      
Daddy had grease on is hands    
Momma made him wash them before we bowed our heads    
 
My brother and I, never saw eye to eye
We'd work those fields in the Georgia heat
Huntin' and fishin' made our life complete  
My sister was a pretty girl
She held the world in her hands
I hope she knows, I'm still her biggest fan
 
That strip that lies between Flat and Savage Creek is more than a piece of land    
It's a part of me and it's who I am    
No matter how far I roam    
It's always home...
