Matthew - John Denver[00:00:00]
Had an uncle named matthew[00:00:07]
Was his fathers only boy[00:00:11]
Born just south of colby kansas[00:00:16]
Was his mothers pride and joy[00:00:20]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:00:23]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:00:27]
Gold was just a windy kansas wheatfield[00:00:32]
Blue just a kansas summer sky[00:00:36]
All the stories that he told me[00:00:41]
Back when I was just a lad[00:00:46]
All the memories that he gave me[00:00:50]
All the good times that he had[00:00:54]
Growin up a kansas farmboy[00:00:58]
Life was mostly havin fun[00:01:03]
Ridin on his daddys shoulders[00:01:07]
Behind a view beneath the sun[00:01:11]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:01:14]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:01:19]
Gold was just a windy kansas wheatfield[00:01:23]
Blue is just a kansas summer sky[00:01:27]
Well I guess there were some hard times[00:01:32]
And i'm told some years were lean[00:01:36]
They had a storm in forty-seven[00:01:41]
A twister came and stripped them clean[00:01:45]
He lost the farm and lost his family[00:01:49]
He lost the wheat and lost his home[00:01:53]
But he found a family bible[00:01:58]
Faith as solid as a stone[00:02:02]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:02:04]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:02:09]
Gold was just a windy kansas wheatfield[00:02:14]
Blue just a kansas summer sky[00:02:18]
So he came to live at our house[00:02:23]
And he came to work the land[00:02:27]
He came to ease my daddys burden[00:02:31]
And he came to be my friend[00:02:35]
So I wrote this down for matthew[00:02:40]
And it's for him the song is sung[00:02:44]
Ridin on his daddys shoulders[00:02:48]
Behind a mule beneath the sun[00:02:53]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:02:55]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:03:00]
Gold was just a windy kansas wheatfield[00:03:04]
Blue just a kansas summer sky[00:03:08]
Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on[00:03:11]
Love was just the way to live and die[00:03:16]
Gold was just a windy kansas wheatfield[00:03:20]
Blue just a kansas summer sky[00:03:24]
