Sweet by and By

Pick a switch
Read the Bible
Hunt a fish for survival
Plant a seed
Watch it grow
Learn to trust which way the wind blows

Let your mama know your love her
You will never have another
Daddy I have not forgotten
The lessons learned under the light of a southern starry sky
Family's the light that guides us
Blessed be the ties that bind us

Sweet by and by
Sweet by and by
Tell the truth
Earn your dollar
Let not your heart asunder
Save yourself

Believe in faith
Good things come to those who wait
Let your daddy know you love him you will never have another
Mama I have not forgotten
The lessons learned under the light of a southern starry sky
Family's the light that guides us

Blessed be the ties that bind us
Sweet by and by
Sweet by and by
Daddy I have not forgotten

The lessons learned under the light of a southern starry sky
Mama I have not forgotten
The lessons learned under the light of a southern starry sky
