The Love Between a Woman and a Man

D C Way Back home where the cypress grew G D In a clapboard shack on the black bayou C G D Live a woman and a man that I call Mom and Dad D C And times were hard and times were tough G D We barely had nothin' but we didn't need much C G D Except for the love of a woman and a man C D Daddy worked his fingers to the bone C G D G But I know my mamma was the reason he was strong D C Everybody knows if the cold wind blows G D The seeds don't sprout and the crops won't grow C G D Even though you've done the best you can C And when you're livin' in a house that you don't own G D And the money in the bank is almost gone C G D G The only thing in life I know that stands C G D Is the love between a woman and a man D C Well, I grew up workin' like my daddy did G D Broke the land with my hands and the money rolled in C G D But it wasn't enough and I did not understand C You see, the only thing that matters money can't buy G D And when it gets down the bottom line C G D It's the love you find between a woman and a man C G D Everything Daddy said to me was true C G D 'Cause my life was not complete until I found you Repeat chorus 2X C G D G Only thing in life that stands C G D Is the love between a woman and a man
