My father had skin like leather,
Hands like steel
From a lifetime spent in the cotton fields.
Though he'd come home tired and dirty
Almost every night
He found the strength to smile at me
And hold my mama tight.
While that old transister radio
Would play the Opry out in the hall
I'd sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall

And they'd dance to a dixie lullaby
A picture of love beneath the southern sky
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a dixie lullaby

I left home at 18
In a hand me down Chevrolet
Packed my mama's goodness
And my old man's stubborn ways
It was college, work and love
Then the babies came,
The youngest one's got his granddaddy's name,
And in the early morning hours
When my children could not sleep
I'd rock them in my arms to a simple beat

And I'd sing them a dixie lullaby
Hush baby dont you start to cry
Oh my what a beautiful life
Just like a dixie lullaby

My father was a mountain of a man
That was the description that I gave,
The morning that we laid him in his grave
There with my mama by his side
We said our last goodbye
To a man we thought would never die
And as I stood there in the fields of amazing grace
Oh how the tears ran down my face

And I sang him a dixie lullaby
We'll meet again, by and by
Oh my what a beautiful life
Just like a dixie lullaby

Oh my what a beautiful life,
Just like a dixie lullaby....


Mirror lyrics:

Just like a dixie lullaby....
Oh my what a beautiful life,

Just like a dixie lullaby
Oh my what a beautiful life
We'll meet again, by and by
And I sang him a dixie lullaby

Oh how the tears ran down my face
And as I stood there in the fields of amazing grace
To a man we thought would never die
We said our last goodbye
There with my mama by his side
The morning that we laid him in his grave
That was the description that I gave,
My father was a mountain of a man

Just like a dixie lullaby
Oh my what a beautiful life
Hush baby dont you start to cry
And I'd sing them a dixie lullaby

I'd rock them in my arms to a simple beat
When my children could not sleep
And in the early morning hours
The youngest one's got his granddaddy's name,
Then the babies came,
It was college, work and love
And my old man's stubborn ways
Packed my mama's goodness
In a hand me down Chevrolet
I left home at 18

Just like a dixie lullaby
Oh my, what a beautiful life
A picture of love beneath the southern sky
And they'd dance to a dixie lullaby

I'd sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall
Would play the Opry out in the hall
While that old transister radio
And hold my mama tight.
He found the strength to smile at me
Almost every night
Though he'd come home tired and dirty
From a lifetime spent in the cotton fields.
Hands like steel
My father had skin like leather,
