Carl's got a brand new haircut, must have been the girl's first date |
|
Baby blue front quarter panel on his old dark green Chevorlet |
|
Probably never make the pages of People magazine |
|
But you oughta see them sick kids' faces when he shows up on Christmas Eve |
|
Dressed like old St. Nick |
|
That missin' tooth don't matter a bit |
|
There's a lot like him around in every town |
|
They're just family, friends, and neighbors |
|
Doing what they've always done |
|
Lovin' fathers, lovin' daughters, lovin' mothers, lovin' sons |
|
They gather 'round ole Glory |
|
'Round the tables and the steeples |
|
The beautiful people |
|
The beautiful people |
|
Debbie Jo, down at the diner |
|
Sunny side up, burned the toast |
|
Raising up two kids solo |
|
Can't afford no fitness coach |
|
She was going to California |
|
The year her mama got sick |
|
So she hung around to do what she could |
|
Had the first one and that was it |
|
Then her mom passed on |
|
But she still goes by the old folks home |
|
Just to sit a while and bring a smile |
|
They're just family, friends, and neighbors |
|
Doing what they've always done |
|
Lovin' fathers, lovin' daughters, lovin' mothers, lovin' sons |
|
They gather 'round ole Glory |
|
'Round the tables and the steeples |
|
The beautiful people |
|
The beautiful people |
|
A wrinkled old man wearing medals |
|
That he earned on ? Beach |
|
Saying goodbye to a grandson |
|
Who was killed outside Tikrit |
|
They gather 'round ole Glory |
|
Out behind the steeple |
|
The beautiful people |
|
The beautiful people |
|
The beautiful people |
|
Man, their beautiful people, yea |
