Chop Wood Lyrics - Singles - Bacon Brothers

Oh he was a cold cold man 

Touched him with a cold cold hand 

Raised him with an iron glove 

Down in the city of brotherly love 

There he waited at the top 

Legs on fire i thought i'd drop 

Man it was a big big hill 

Swear to god i'm climbing still 

I will never be as tall 

As his mark upon the wall 

But i'm afraid that i've begun 

To cast a shadow on the son 

I want to break this legacy 

Change this angry history 

And plant a brand new family tree 

I guess the rest is up to me

Oh he was a strange strange lad 

All those wicked thoughts he had 

Left to build his little world 

And he left you with a lonely girl 

Yeah you were the princely one 

You bear the burden of the first born son 

But man it was a peasant's goal 

Cigarettes and rock and roll 

Now you can try and hold it in 

But you will never be as thin 

And you can never take the floor 

Because you never went to war 

You want to break this legacy 

Change this angry history 

And plant a brand new family tree 

Here's some cheap advice from me 

Brother gotta 

Chop wood you gotta carry water 

Hold your boy and respect your daughter 

And when you take your rest 

You'll know you did the best you could 

Chop wood carry water

Yeah you can write your name in stone 

But you're checking out like you checked in naked and alone
