Joel Adam Russell - Heaven Knows lyrics

Artist: Joel Adam Russell

album: Heaven Knows


For twenty years I was a child now
Though I never had a clue
Wearing boots I could never fill
Daddy said, "put the boy to use"
For forty years I've been working now
Forty more I'll meet the grave
So many towers that I never saw
Tried not to take more than I gave
Oh yeah, I tried not to take more than I gave
Heaven knows it ain't easy
But the family needs a roof over head
All the dreams that never saw daylight
But dreams don't keep the children fed
Summer soil in my fingernails
Sunburnt red upon my face
Fifteen hours for some crumpled dollar bills
Oh, I've accepted these are my days
Yeah, I've accepted these are my days
Heaven knows it ain't easy
But the family needs a roof over head
All the dreams that never saw daylight
But dreams don't keep the children fed
I'd give it all for them to have it all
Yes, I'd give it all for them to have it all
What must I do?, I'll do what I must
Whatever it cost
Heaven knows it ain't easy
But the family needs a roof over head
All the dreams that never saw daylight
Oh, but dreams don't keep my children fed
Now there ain't much in this world
That can soothe me
Don't plan on resting 'till the day I'm dead
I'm not asking anyone to thank me
I just pray someday they'll understand
That a man does what a man's gotta do
