My Daddy bought 5 acres
High up on a hill
And he went there every evening
When he got off at the mill
And he cleared the trees and brush away
And leveled out some land
Then he dug a hole and poured a slab
With his own workin' hands
Then he showed me a picture
Of a big house in a book
And said "when we get her finished, son
This is how she's gonna look"
Then he buckled on his tool belt
And grabbed a 2 by 6
And said "you gotta frame a sturdy wall
Before you ever lay a brick"
He was hammerin' nails
In our foundation
Building our home
Up good and strong
To stand the winds
Of life's temptations
To build our house well
He was a hammerin' nails
High up on a hill
And he went there every evening
When he got off at the mill
And he cleared the trees and brush away
And leveled out some land
Then he dug a hole and poured a slab
With his own workin' hands
Then he showed me a picture
Of a big house in a book
And said "when we get her finished, son
This is how she's gonna look"
Then he buckled on his tool belt
And grabbed a 2 by 6
And said "you gotta frame a sturdy wall
Before you ever lay a brick"
He was hammerin' nails
In our foundation
Building our home
Up good and strong
To stand the winds
Of life's temptations
To build our house well
He was a hammerin' nails
