| Teach Your Children (Original: Nash Graham) |
| Country Gentlemen |
| You who are on the road |
| must have a code that you can live by |
| and so become yourself |
| because the past is just a goodbye |
| Teach your children well |
| their father's hell |
| will slowly go by |
| and feed them on your dreams |
| the one they picks |
| the one you'll know by. |
| Don't you ever ask them why |
| if they told you, you would cry |
| so just look at them and sigh |
| and know they love you. |
| Solo(Banjo) |
| And you, of tender years |
| can't know the fears |
| that your elders grew by |
| and so please help them with your youth |
| they seek the truth |
| before they can die. |
| Teach your parents well |
| their children's hell |
| will slowly go by |
| and feed them on your dreams |
| the one they picks |
| the one you'll know by. |
| Don't you ever ask them why |
| if they told you, you would cry |
| so just look at them and sigh |
| and know they love you. |
