Sowin' Love (1989)
I use to love to walk behind my daddy
As he plowed our garden every spring
A little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy
As we talked about what harvest time would bring
He'd say son this whole world is like a garden
And what you sow you're surely gonna reap
Where bitter seeds are planted hearts will harden
But a caring hand will make the heart as sweet

And he was sowin' love for the family
He was sowin' love, he took a little extra time
Looking forward to a bountiful harvest
Like a good father does he was sowin' love

How I use to love and sit and watch my momma
Working with her needle and her thread
So patiently she'd listen to our problems

And we knew she heard every word we said
She'd say children this old world is full of scratches
And in your life you're bound to have a few
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches
So we could start each day out feeling new

And she was sowing love for the family
She was sowing love; she took a little extra time
Looking forward to a bountiful harvest
Like a good momma does she was sowin' love

And they was sowin' love for the family
They was sowin' love, they took a little extra time
Looking forward to a bountiful harvest
They took good care of us they were sowin' love
Yeah they did it all for us they were sowin' love
