G D A D
I was watchin? cartoons on a Saturday morning
G A D
And I heard daddy start the truck
G D
I came runnin’ from the house and waved him down
A D
Cause he was makin’ a run to the dump
G D
We watched the Bears and licked ice cream cones
G D
Take a little walk around
G Bm
I’ll never forget what my daddy said
A D
The day we pulled that bike from the ground
G D
He said one man’s trash is another man’s gold
G D
If it’s thrown away it’s free to take
A
A little oil she’ll be good to go
G A
So I rode that bicycle home Thumbs up, daddy honkin’ on the horn
G D A D
I got my first job workin’ on a dairy farm
G A D
Drivin? tractor and bailing hay
G D
I’d have to circle around a bog in the ground
A D
Where sat an old Mustang ‘58
G D
One evening I asked that farmer
G D
Why that car was just wasting away
G Bm
He said you can have it for free it don’t mean nothing to me
A D
And I couldn’t help but think
G D
He said one man’s trash is another man’s gold
G D
What someone will throw away is a crying shame
A G
So I towed that Mustang home Till she could be restored
A D G D A D G D A D
I got that engine to roar And boy did that engine roar
G D A D
It was an awkward blind date we met at a park
G A D
She had her little girl taggin? along
G D
Her beautiful smile hadn’t been out in a while
A D
She was a hard working single mom
G D
In time I learned he’d left her
G D
He said I’m just way too young
G Bm
To be having a kid, I’m not ready for this
A D
If you keep it I’m good as gone?
G D
He never looked back as she watched him go
G D
She stood there crying in the rain till one January day
A
She had a beautiful baby girl
D D/F# G
Tonight I tuck her in and read her stories
Bm A G
And hold her mama while the sunset glows
D G D
My two arms full of this man’s gold
D/F# G D
What some men will throw away is a crying shame
Bm A G
Those girls make our house a home
A D G D G D
Yeah my cup overflows With this man’s gold This man’s gold
