You Know It's Me Lyrics - Singles - Joseph Anthony Ricciardo

He had dirt under his nails 

His hair was a little long 

If you could get past those calloused fingers 

You see he work 'em to the bone 

But he stood tall as he could 

All that honesty had taken its toll 

He had a spark in his eye 

It was just the outside gettin' old 

I asked him one day if he had any regrets 

Without a second thought he looked me dead in eye and he said 

I got an old ball cap my jeans are gettin' old 

If you look in my yard you'll see old glory on a pole 

I got a wife at the house I can teach you how to shoot 

Heck that's living son and that's how you know it's me 

That got me thinking as we talked some more 

Things have changed some 

A man can't have no peace and he darned sure better lock his door 

But a million dollars can't by a life like that 

You gotta earn it 

Ain't no machine gonna do it 

Ain't nobody gonna do it for you 

So I straightened out my cap 

Dusted off my jeans, smiled and said "Thanks" 

And he said, "For what?" 

I got an old ball cap my jeans are gettin' old 

If you look in my yard you'll see old glory on a pole 

I'll have a wife at the house I can teach you how to shoot 

Heck that's living son and that's how you know it's me
