Stan Burgess - We Had Music

Well, I was Mama's baby boy
And she was Mama's baby girl
When we came along our Mom already had
Eleven other children in this world
Well Daddy had a seventh grade education
Raised a family by the sweat of his brow
I didn't think we had much then
But boy do I know different now

'Cause we had music
Yeah, we had music
We never had a lot of what most everybody had
But I don't feel so bad
'Cause we had music
We had music
And I just thank the good Lord up in heaven
That music is what we had

Daddy never had a new car
And Mama never had a diamond ring
Most the folks around knew that we were poor
But they sure did like to hear us children sing
Well, we never had a music education
Just a guitar and an old piano
But when we gathered around
Started making our sound
We became the rich folks in town

We had music
Yeah, we had music
We never had a lot of what most everybody had
But I don't feel so bad
We had music
Yeah, we had music
And I just thank the good Lord up in heaven
That music is what we had

We had music
Yeah, we had music
We never had a lot of what most everybody had
But I don't feel so bad
We had music
Yeah, we had music
And I just thank the good Lord up in heaven
That music is what we had

I just thank the good Lord up in heaven
That music is what we had

Well I just thank the good Lord up in heaven
That music is what we had
