I used to love to walk behind my daddy
as he plowed our garden every spring
little barefeet in the dirt would make me happy
as he talked about what harvest time would bring
he'd say "Son this whole world is like a garden
and what you sow your surely gonna reap
when bitter seeds are planted hearts will hardened
but a caring hand will make the harvest sweet And
He was sowin' love for the family
he was sowin' love he took a little extra time
looking forward to a bountiful harvest
like a good father does
he was sowin' love
How I used to love to set and watch my mama
working with her needle and her thread
so patiently she'd listen to our problems
and we knew she heard every word we said
she'd say,"Children this old world is full of scratches
and in your life your bound to have a few
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches
so we could start each day out feeling new
She was sowin' love for the family
she was sowin' love she took a little extra time
looking forward to a bountiful harvest
like a good mama does she was sowin' love
They were sowin' love for the family
they were sowin' love they took a little extra time
looking forward to a bountiful harvest
they took good care of us they were sowin' love
Yeah, they did it all for us
They were sowin' love
