Lotta Man (In That Little Boy) (2020 Remaster)

(album: God, Family, Country - 2020)

His life is that blue bike
Ball glove and fishing pole
Treehouse, BB gun
And Band-Aid covered knees
He does good delivering papers
And cutting grass for the neighbors
Except for Widow Wilson, he cuts hers for free
His little hands do a lot for a kid his age

He puts one-tenth of his hard earned money
In the offering plate each Sunday
By his own choice
There's a lotta man in that little boy

Weekdays, he tries to sleep late
Weekends, he's up at daybreak
Him and Roy wading in Cotton Creek
That dog was like his brother
You'd seen one, you'd see the other
Cut one and both of them would bleed
Tires screamed, but that ol' truck couldn't stop

There's the tree that he buried him under
He made a cross from scraps of lumber
And on it carved, "God Bless ol' Roy"
There's a lotta man in that little boy

There's a house, down where he goes fishing
He told his mom, "Those kids got nothing
And I don't need all these toys"
There's a lotta man
(There's a lotta man, there's a lotta man)
In that little boy
