Eat a Little Crow Lyrics

Daddy was a good man

With a kind and gentle way

Had a wise and easy spirit

In all the words he'd say

There's nothin' I wouldn't give to hear his voice

Saying it's gonna be okay

I still cherish all those moments when he'd call and help me through my day

Was a family man, and we loved his stories

About livin' on the farm

Sittin' by the campfire with his guitar

Singing Haggard and George Jones

And I could see as time went by, because of him

I'm the man I am today

His words still live on

And I can still hear him say

There'll be times in life to be proud

And hold your head up high

There'll be times in life to stand your ground

And know you've gotta fight

But more times than not, your gonna see

From lessons that you've learned and you'll know

But most times the best thing you can do

Is eat a little crow

When he grew up, life was tough

But his faith got him through

And the way he lived his life, was admired

By everyone he knew

Been a few years down the road and his words

They all ring true

If I could see him now I would tell him

You were right, and daddy I love you

There'll be times in life to be proud

And hold your head up high

There'll be times in life to stand your ground

And know you've gotta fight

But more times than not, your gonna see

From lessons that you've learned and you'll know

But most times the best thing you can do

Is eat a little crow

There's times you have to stop and bite your tongue

Son, eat a little crow
