Tva
I grew up two hours north of Birmingham Me and my daddy used to fish next to Wilson Dam He told some stories Camaros and J.W. Dant; When I got a little older I wouldn't and now daddy can't So I thank God for the TVA Thank god for the TVA When me and my daddy used to bow to the river and pray Thank god for the TVA
When I was fifteen, me and my girl sat out on the lock Watching the raccoons and terrapins dance on the rocks She let me put my hand up under her shirt; I wanted her to want me so bad it hurt So I thank God for the TVA Thank god for the TVA When me and my baby used to lay 'round and wait on the day Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Thank god for the TVA
My granddaddy told me when he was just seven or so His daddy lost work and they didn't have a row to hoe Not too much to eat for seven boys and three girls; All lived in a tentbunch of sharecroppers versus the world So his mama sat down, wrote a letter to FDR 'En a couple days later, couple of county men came in a car Rode out in the field, told his daddy to put down the plow He helped build the dam, gave power to most of the South So I thank god for the TVA Thank god for the TVA When Roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay Thank god for the TVA
