Little league tryouts
When I was just a kid
I didnt make the team
But all my friends did
Instead I watched every game
And just sat on the side
I thought the coach would see me there
And hoped hed change his mind
Then my dad saw me down
And he pulled me up said listen son
Its gonna take time
Its gonna take patience
Its gonna take all the strength you have to try to make it
He said anything you want in this lifes
worth fightin for
Its a recipe of love, faith, and passion
And if youve got it
You dont need nothin more
My wife said she loves me
With all of her heart
But the last years been rough
Were not off to a good start
Since the wedding her and I
Weve been fighting like two fools
Ive done everything I can think of
And now I dont know what to do
And then my dad sat me down
And he said listen son
Its gonna take time
Its gonna take patience
Its gonna take all the strength yall have
To try to make it
He said a woman like her in your life
Shes worth fightin for
Its a recipe of love, faith, and passion
And if yall got it
Yall dont need nothin more
solo
I got a call on the phone
Back in July
I heard a sobbin voice sayin my name
On the other end of the line
My mom told me we found your dad
And he is gone
I hit my knees and began to pray
I heard his voice in my mind
And I could hear that old man say
Its gonna take time
Its gonna take patience
Itll take all the strength you have to try to make it
Cause everything good in this life must come to an end
But its that recipe of love, faith, and passion
Itll keep you strong my son
And dont you forget it
Love Dad
