One Day I Opened Up An Old And Dusty Drawer
Little Rusty Piece Of Steel It Fell Out On The Floor
As I Went To Pick It Up Those Memories Came Back Strong
Daddy's Pocket Knife I Carried For So Long
As I Held That Rusty Blade Right There In My Hand
My Thoughts Wandered Back To That Hard Working Man
An Old Piece Of Steel And A Worn Out Of Cattle Bone
Daddy's Pocket Knife Was Finally Made At Home
Daddy's Pocket Knife Was Finally Made At Home

Daddy's Pocket Knife Was Finally Made At Home
Probably Bought It Years Ago At The Angle Hardware Store
He'd Come Home From Work Every Day His Fingers Cracking Sore
Come Here My Boy Set Up On My Knee
I'll Tell You A Little Tale About The Way Things Used To Be
As I Held That Rusty Blade Right There In My Hand
Little Rusty Piece Of Steel It Fell Out On The Floor


My Thoughts Wandered Back To That Hard Working Man
An Old Piece Of Steel And A Worn Out Of Cattle Bone
Daddy's Pocket Knife Was Finally Made At Home
As I Held That Rusty Blade Right There In My Hand
Tear Fell From My Eye On That Dreadful Day
I Held That Blade In My Hands No Words Are Left To Say
Daddy's Pocket Knife Was Finally Made At Home

No Words Are Left To Say
I Held That Blade In My Hands No Words Are Left To Say
When his time on earth was near, he placed it in that drawer
Knowing one day his son would find it and carry it once more
As I held that rusty blade right there in my hand
My thoughts wandered back to that hard-working man
An old piece of steel and worn-out cattle bone
At Daddy's Park at night, finally made it home
