That Was Real Warmth Lyrics

Four room wood house ain't got no paint

Rusted sheet iron roof you can shore hear it rain

You could throw a cat thru the crack in the slats in that house on that farm

Sometimes it be cold

Then there is that old barn

Where the cows chew the cud

The boards on the wall

Look like some kinda old grey driftwood

We gathered eggsslopped the hogs milked the cows in that barn on that farm

Even when it was cold

Daddy worked in Tulsa all week long come home on the weekends

Stay up real late working that old farm

Everybody knew he was a hard hard working man

Doing his best to keep us warm

Yeah we were warm

Mother cooked up those biscuits

In that old wood stove

On one side be hot

But my backside be cold

Sister pull my pant leg

Just for a joke

Whoo that was hot

Now do you remember ah all those times

Buy a month's bill of groceries get 10 pieces of candy for dime

Stop off at the ice house get them to chip you off a big ole block

Carry it home wrapped up in that old green tarp

Now don't get me wrong I love this life

But back then it was different different troubles different strife

It was just the weather that made us cold

But It was something else that made us warm

Now don't get me wrong I love this life

But back then it was different

We didn't have all this rat race jive

It was just the weather that made us cold

It was mother and daddy's love that kept us warm

And we were warm

Now that was warmth
