Feather-white head of hairTalkin' like he's outta airCould see the stories his eyes toldPushin' 90, still pullin' rowsHe pulled up on my new farmWindows down, hangin' out his armSaid, "I grew up in that ol' houseLooks like you got it 'bout tore down to the heart pine. "They don't make 'em like that no moreFrom the ceiling to the floorWhen a 2x4 was really a 2x4Hand cut from hard timesLookin' from here, it don't look like muchBut lookin' from there, it damn sure wasDaddy prayin' for rainMomma prayin' for usOn that front porch made of heart pine"Don't get me wrong, hell, if I was youI'd tear that old thing down tooIt's been way too empty, way too long'Bout time somebody came alongBrought this old ground back to newLet it live like it used toBut before you do, would you mindIf I loaded up a little bit of your heart pine? "They don't make 'em like that no moreFrom the ceiling to the floorWhen a 2x4 was really a 2x4Hand cut from hard timesLookin' from here, it don't look like muchBut lookin' from there, it damn sure wasDaddy prayin' for rainMomma prayin' for usOn that front porch made of heart pineNow there's a new house standin' where the old one didWe're plantin' our roots and raisin' our kidsBow our heads and say grace at supper time'Round a table made of that heart pineThey don't make 'em like that no moreFrom the ceiling to the floorWhen a 2x4 was really a 2x4Hand cut from hard timesLookin' from here, it don't look like muchBut lookin' from there, it damn sure wasDaddy prayin' for rainMomma prayin' for usOn that front porch made of loveAnd that heart pineYeah, that heart pineHey, Mr. Bill. It's nice to meet youCome on by any timeSarah makes a good apple pie now
