Delta Son Better Man lyrics

Dear old Danny, come and spin me a tale
Son of the river, you're the son of the rail
The river rolls on, the train rolls too
But left us here with, the best of you

Wise old William, come sit with me
Son of the island, you're the son of the sea
Just like that tide that, ever comes back home
You've buried you're spirit, here deep in our bones

Strong heart, strong hands I'll become a better man
Standing on the shoulders of better men than me
Where you end I'll begin, carry on your well laid plan
Strong heart, strong hands I'll become a better man

Ruff old Rufus, you're more than what you seem
You're the son of a farmer, the American dream
Your tobacco grew tall, and you did too
You showed us all just what a man can do


With strong heart, strong hands I'll become a better man
Standing on the shoulders of better men than me
Where you end I'll begin, carry on your well laid plan
Strong heart, strong hands I'll become a better man

Kind old Kenny, come show me your hands
They tell the story, of the truest man
Cracked and calloused, to the bone
From the work you labored, to build us a home

Strong heart, strong hands I'll become a better man
Standing on the shoulders of better men than me
Where you end I'll begin, carry on your well laid plan
Strong heart, strong hands I'll become a better man
Yeah a better man
