Many miles and days, spent by my daddy's side 
I got to know him well, we were together all the time 
A hard-working man, with a Bible on his arm 
His lungs stayed filled with dust, rolling hay on that old farm. 
 
His worn out hands they built my dollhouse and many miles of fence 
They even built a real house, him and mama have lived in ever since 
He's never missed a Sunday, in that old country church 
He's always kind to strangers, and he's always kept his word. 
 
Arthritis took him over, keeps him awake at night 
He don't deserve the pain, his silver hair is turning white 
He no longer drives his tractor, it just sits out in the barn 
And thought he is retired, he still works hard. 
 
He was never rich, but he never wanted anything 
He sat out in the rain, selling cars and old machines 
His old truck is barely running, but he drives it with a smile 
He always made sure I had better, and that I was first in line. 
 
Chorus: 
A simple man, worth his weight in gold 
I wouldn't trade him, for everything I own 
A simple man, simply growing old 
But my love for him ain't simple 
And I sure hope he knows...
