I Would Be Too

It ain't easy sitting still when you're backside starts to hurt Stuck between mom and daddy in Sunday morning church I can't begin to count the hours I spent in that old pew It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too Daddy taught me wrong from right with a stern and calloused hand Never once apologized, said one day I'll understand Looking back I can't believe all the hell I put him through I thought he was hard and unforgiving but without him I would be too When I got down I learned to look up And ask for more strength when times got tough Even if I could I wouldn't change a thing They taught me how to take a stand When to let go be the bigger man And that a kind word doesn't cost anything It's amazing what a little grace can bring Standing strong and tall two others by its side That blood stained cross held his arms open wide Wouldn't let him down, it had a job to do It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too That cross was hard and unforgiving but without him I would be too I would be too
