Fingers To The Bone Lyrics

Fingers To The Bone lyrics

My daddy's knuckles were always bloody

From workin on our hand me down
cars

He'd tell me son the only way to get ahead

Is work your
fingers to the bone



Gave him the finger and I walked away

I
wouldn't listen to a thing he'd say

And now that he's not here, I want
him to know

I knew he worked his fingers to the bone



My
momma always knew of my indiscretions

But she always had an ear for
me

She'd take me to the church and make me listen

Pray to God on a
bended knee



I said I hate you and I walked away

I wouldn't
listen to a thing she'd say

One day I turned around and she was gone

I knew she worked her fingers to the bone



Last night I read my
son a bedtime story

And he looked up at me

He told me daddy you
know I love you

Daddy please don't leave



But there will come
a day he''ll walk away

And he won't listen to a word I say

Then one
day he'll wake up, and he'll know

His daddy worked his fingers to the
bone

His daddy worked his fingers to the bone

His momma worked her
fingers to the bone

All we tried to do is give you a home

Yeah
nobody tried to steer you wrong

Cause everybody works their fingers to
the bone
