Paul Overstreet - Sowin' Love lyrics

rate me

I use to love to walk behind my daddy

As he plowed our garden every spring

Our little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy

As we talked about what harvest time would bring

He'd say son this whole world is like a garden

And what you sow your surely gonna reap

Where bitter seeds are planted hearts will harden

But a caring hand will make the harvest sweet

Chorus:

And he was sowin' love for the family

Yeah he was sowin' love, he took a little extra time

Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest

Like a good father does he was sowin' love

And how I use to love and sit and watch my momma

Workin' with her needle and her thread

So patiently she'd listen to our problems

And we knew she heard every word we said

She'd say "children this old world is full of scratches

And in your life your bound to have a few"

I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches

So we could start each day out feelin' new

Chorus:

Yes she was sowin' love for the family

She was sowin' love, she took a little extra time

Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest

Like a good momma does she was sowin' love

Chorus:

Yeah they were sowin' love for the family

They were sowin' love, they took a little extra time

Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest

They took good care of us they were sowin' love

Yeah they did it all for us they were sowin' love
