Lyrics Joey + Rory – Hammerin’ Nails

My Daddy bought 5 acres
High up on a hill
And he went there every evening
When he got off at the mill

Then he showed me a picture
Of a big house in a book
And said «when we get her finished, son.
This is how she’s gonna look»
Then he buckled on his tool belt
And grabbed a 2 by 6
And said «you gotta frame a sturdy wall
Before you ever lay a brick»

He was hammerin’ nails
In our foundation
Building our home
Up good and strong
To stand the winds
Of life’s temptations
To build our house well
He was a hammerin’ nails

We worked with him on the weekends
Until our muscles hurt
Then mama’d come and get us
And take us all to church
She read us from the bible
About Noah and the flood

And she was hammerin’ nails
In our foundation
Building our home
Up good and strong
To stand the winds
Of life’s temptations
With every story she’d tell
She was a hammerin’ nails

Yeah they raised us well
By hammerin’ nails
