Hammerin' Nails Lyrics

He showed me a picture of a big house in a book
Said when we get it finished son this is how it's gonna look
Then he buckled on his tool belt and grabbed a two by six
Said ya gotta frame a sturdy wall before you ever lay a brick
He was hammerin nails, in our foundation
Buildin our home up big and strong
Stand the winds of life's temptations
Yea he built the house well he was a hammerin nails
We worked with him on the weekends until our muscles hurt
Then momma would come and get us and take us all to church
She read us from the Bible about Noah and the flood
About John and Paul and Jesus and how he washed us in His blood
She was hammerin nails in our foundation
Buildin our home up big and strong
Stand the winds of life's temptaions
With every story she tells, she was a hammerin nails
Yea they raised us well by hammerin nails
