Moved me here. Now I got tears in my eyes. Sorry, I lost it when you went falsetto.

My daddy was a hard man. He lived his life just like a war
Every day was a battle. Every year was nineteen forty four.

There are a pair of super lines that set up the rest of the song.

Why don't they write songs like this any more? Maybe they do, and I'm just not situated right. Loved it.

You know, I don't really hear this "in church" as much as I hear it in a honky-tonk, in the vein of Lord Help Me Jesus and Sunday Morning Coming Down. Lots of baptized folks there too. That's just my thought.
