Watchin' Love Grow

Rodney Clawson/ Mark Marchetti



verse 1

An old country house made of cedar and stone
38 acres that we call home
a beat up tractor - chickens in the barn
and a blue eyed dog on a family farm
verse 2

The sun's still sleeping when we wake up
it's honey on the bisquit and coffee in the cup
and our little boy five years old
pouring captain crunch in a batman bowl
a kiss goodbye and i'm off to work
planting seeds of hope in the stubborn dirt
chorus

Watch'in love grow
in this field of dreams outside the kitchen window
it's not always butterflies and banjos
we're on our knees pulling weeds
praying we can keep it straight to the end of the row
that's the way it goes
watchin' love grow
verse 3

It takes a little sunshine takes a little sweat
working overtime to keep us out of debt
it takes a little want to when we don't
faith to keep us going when our willpower won't
when it's almost dark I come dragging in
and our little boy with a ball and glove
brings me back to life again
chorus

Watch'in love grow
in this field of dreams outside the kitchen window
it's not always butterflies and banjos
we're on our knees pulling weeds
praying we can keep it straight to the end of the row
that's the way it goes
watchin' love grow
bridge

Seasons come and seasons go
we keep reaping what we sow
we praise the Lord and curse the heat
but in the end we just believe
we just believe
chorus

Watch'in love grow
in this field of dreams outside the kitchen window
it's not always butterflies and banjos
we're on our knees pulling weeds
praying we can keep it straight to the end of the row
that's the way it goes
watchin' love grow
