The Love Between a Woman and a Man

Way Back home where the cypress grew

In a clapboard shack on the black bayou

Live a woman and a man that I call Mom and Dad

And Times were hard and times were tough

We barely had nothing' but we didn't need much

Except for the love of a woman and a man

Daddy worked his fingers to the bone

But I know my momma was the reason he was strong

Everybody knows if the cold wind blows

The seeds don't sprout and the crops won't grow

Even though you've done the best you can

And when you're living in a house that you don't own

And the money in the bank is almost gone

The only thing in life I know that stands

Is the love between a woman and a man

Well, I grew up working like my daddy did

Broke the land with my hands and the money rolled in

But it wasn't enough and I did not understand

You see, the only thing that matters money can't buy

And when it gets down the bottom line

It's the love you find between a woman and a man

Everything Daddy said to me was true

Cause my life was not complete until I found you

Only thing in life that stands

Is the love between a woman and a man
