The Oak Ridge Boys - Compared To You lyrics

Compared to my father I'm a college boy Who never learned to saw a straight line. Compared to my mother I'm a sinner Who never saw the light. But I read my bible every day, I worked my hands in wood, I ain't always done my best but I've done the best I could. Compared to you I am Appalachian south When I hear those sweet words like peaches in your mouth I know that your roots run underneath this clay To the place that makes a dreamer never wanna run away. Where love is rare, Love that's true. I ain't never met a woman in my life That compared to you. Compared to my brother I'm a seeker Who just wanted way too much. Compared to my sister I'm a loner Who is livin' out of touch And I've got nowhere else to be. Would you like to take a walk Or just sit here and let me hear you talk? Compared to you I am Appalachian south When I hear those sweet words like peaches in your mouth You talk with a drawl and I talk with a twang But underneath it all we both mean the same thing. Love is rare, Love that's true. I ain't never met a woman in my life That compared to you. Well now that you know all of that Do you think that we could maybe close this gap? Compared to you I am Appalachian south When I hear those sweet words like peaches in your mouth I know that your roots run underneath this clay To the place that makes a dreamer never wanna run away. Where love is rare, Love that's true. I ain't never met a woman in my life That compared to you.
