In the final days of summer With a preacher and a witness and a humble band of gold They set out to find the future, not a penny to name Still with all the unknown danger, she knew her was safe
'Cause he was a rock, he was the one she ran to And when he said the words She knew that it was true, he wasn't a But he was enough for her, he was a man, a man of his word
In the days of summer 1964 He found a family undivided, on the war Turning son against his elder, debating wrong and He was the image of his father, though they not see eye to eye
he was a rock, he was the one the boy ran to 'Cause he said the words, 'I love you' He knew it was true, and even in the worst of storms There was an anchor in his world, he was a man, a man of his
Clutching a belief in the bible all the sweetness in his life And the of war He knew God had made him for
In the final days of summer Surrounded by his family and the of the Lord He set out to find his future, the one always known He didn't to leave his family, but he knew deep in his soul (Lord had him home)
he was the rock, he was the one the man ran to And when he said the words He knew that it was true, he wasn't a He is the one the saints bow to, receiving a man, a man of his
He is the one that I run to, 'cause he says the word, forever I know his word is true, he isn't a He is the one the bow to to the man, the man of his word
