He said son won't you lend an ear to what I have to say

I've been down this road before and I think I know the way

He said I can't help but see that's quite the load you bear

You better lose that attitude if you wanna get somewhere



You look at me as if you see a worthless man

Well don't be fooled son by the dirt on these hands

(Chorus)

He said never judge a man by the clothes that he wears

Don't take for granted that he chose the cross he bears

You can't put him down for who he is or what he does

Cause you don't dig the holes that he dug

He said son this road of life's been known to take it's toll

I've hit all the rough spots, every ditch and every hole

There's just so many paths but wrong or right's a choice

Don't let what you think you know throw you off course



He said slow down son and take it all in stride

Take your time, along with this advice,



(Chorus|Solo)



(Tag)

You can't put him down for who he is or what he does

Cause you don't dig the holes he dug
