1
Refrain:
2
Born in the shadows of a turpentine still
3
Raised up believing that a man shouldn't kill
4
Mom and dad taught me to work hard for things I might need
5
They made me part of a vanishing breed.
6
The Yellow flicker in lifes comparison lands hanging down
7
Reminds me of home in the middle of a tiny wood sawmill town
8
A six mile walk to school with a blanket of frost on the clay
9
Or a brand new shirt from a flour sack to wear on church meeting day.
10
Refrain:
11
I've slept on memories of meals mom cooked on a wood burning stove
12
And a burden my dad had to beg for a little more credit at the temperance store
13
Though we were poor and in the company house where we lived there was no rent
14
Even blest with love, some folks can't find with all the money they're spent
15
Refrain:
16
Born in the shadows of a turpentine still
17
Raised up believing that a man shouldn't kill
18
Mom and Dad taught me, eat to work hard for things I might need
19
They made me part of a vanishing breed.
