little thing Lyrics

I was not your family

I was a stranger to you once

But you treated me like we had the same blood

I drove up to a cabin

To Wisconsin in the woods

We shot fireworks and drank till we felt good

And the sky was clear in that summer air

You showed me so much kindness

I do not understand

Who puts that kind of soul inside a man

And you always say the same thing

We believe in you

It was a little thing for us we just wanted to do

That night I met your family

That night I met your friends

There were plates of buttered shrimp and hungry hands

And as the fireworks were dying

The whiskey shots were flying

At 2 am something is cooking in the oven

The sun is rising in the Eastern sky

You showed me so much kindness

I do not understand

Who puts that kind of soul inside a man

And you always say the same thing

We believe in you

It was a little thing for us we just wanted to do

Someday I'll make you proud

As proud as I am now

When I think of that day I smile clear and loud

And I always say the same thing

God sent those folks to me

To clear some brush off of the path to Tennessee

And to help me be the man I want to be

You showed me so much kindness

I do not understand

Who puts that kind of soul inside a man

And you always say the same thing

We believe in you

It was a little thing for us we just wanted to do
