Low Gap - Dear The Man lyrics

Artist: Low Gap

album: Low Gap


Dear the man I never knew
Your daughter says I sound just like you
And every time she hears me play
Says it brings back a memory
Of bluegrass standards and old church hymns
Steel guitars and mountain mandolins
You smiled and strummed your old six string
And listened to her momma sing
If I could only hear you play
If you could only sing with me
It'd probably make my nana cry
If only just one time
An eight year old kid in East Kentucky
It's time to quit school to help the family
Probably never thought your people would have more to show
Than broken backs and lungs full of coal
I own three guitars and a Marshall amp
That you couldn't afford in a coal camp
So you just whistled I'll fly away
To get you through your work each day
If you could only see the things
You worked so hard to give me
You'd probably be amazed
At how much your coal sweat gave
Now my cousin picks a guitar
And your little boy beats a drum
My brother, hell, he knows a little bit of everything
Just look at what you've become
If you could only see us play
If you could only hear us sing
I promise you would see
A little Appalachian legacy
