Tom McGuire - That Was Real Warmth

Four room wood house ain't got no paint
Rusted sheet iron roof you can shore hear it rain
You could throw a cat thru the crack in the slats in that house on that farm
Sometimes it be cold
Then there is that old barn
Where the cows chew the cud
The boards on the wall
Look like some kinda old grey driftwood
We gathered eggsslopped the hogs milked the cows in that barn on that farm
Even when it was cold
Daddy worked in Tulsa all week long come home on the weekends
Stay up real late working that old farm
Everybody knew he was a hard hard working man
Doing his best to keep us warm
Yeah we were warm
Mother cooked up those biscuits
In that old wood stove
On one side be hot
But my backside be cold
Sister pull my pant leg
Just for a joke
Whoo that was hot
Now do you remember ah all those times
Buy a month's bill of groceries get 10 pieces of candy for dime
Stop off at the ice house get them to chip you off a big ole block
Carry it home wrapped up in that old green tarp
Now don't get me wrong I love this life
But back then it was different different troubles different strife
It was just the weather that made us cold
But It was something else that made us warm
Now don't get me wrong I love this life
But back then it was different
We didn't have all this rat race jive
It was just the weather that made us cold
It was mother and daddy's love that kept us warm
And we were warm
Now that was warmth
