Joe Nichols - Things Like That (these Days) lyrics

his daddy taught him all about huntin and fishin how to work on that old truck when it needed fixin how to say sir and how to say mam how their ain't nothing wrong with getting dirt on your hands [Chorus] have mercy on all of the kids out there who haven't been raised to even care about things like that these days his momma used to cook every meal in the kitchen she helped with his homework and taught him religion she laid down the law and he let her know where he was going and when he'd be home have mercy on all of the kids out there who haven't been raised to even care about things like that these days as the years changed him from a boy to a man he was blessed with a generous heart and a plan wherever life takes him wherever he's at he's gonna find some way to give something back Now his weekends are spent doing what he loves most with 12 little angels who call him coach some have nothing and some are spoiled rotten but when they're with him they're not forgotten have mercy on all of the parents out there who haven't been raised to even care about things like that these days as the years changed him from a boy to a man he was blessed with a generous heart and a plan wherever life takes him wherever he's at he's gonna find some way to give something back repeat chorus twice
