McArthur

My name's John McArthur and I work this dirt

'Til they lay me down in it in my one good shirt

I kept my family fed with a mule and a plow

I'm a whisper in the wind through the pine trees now

And my bloodline, it bled on this ground

Soon we all find that's where we're bound

And father time don't leave anyone out

And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?

I'm Junior McArthur and I join my old man

By way of a bullet in Vietnam

Left behind my woman and my boy named Jones

Never got to meet him, but he's carrying on

My bloodline that bled on this ground

Soon we'll all find that's where we're bound

And father time don't leave anyone out

And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?

I'm Jones McArthur and I tried like hell

To teach my son why a man don't sell

But he came home from college seeing dollar signs

Didn't wanna go to work, just wanted me to die

And I'm Hunter McArthur and the deal looks good

In 18 months this'll be a neighborhood

I got a million dollar line I can sign my name on

But there's a whisper in the pines that's tellin' me, "Don't"

Sayin' my bloodline, it bled on this ground

Soon we all find that's where we're bound

And father time don't leave anyone out

And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?

And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?

Gonna pass down

Gonna pass down

Gonna pass down
