Rhett Akins - Those Hands lyrics

(make d. sanders/sam hogin/rhett akins) (track 10 - time 3:28) She was a mom back when moms didn't work She just did the laundry and brushed off the dirt She cooked all the meals and scrubbed all the floors And she mowed that front yard with that old push mower All of those years without the help of a man She held us together with those delicate hands Those hands have rocked some cradles Calmed many a cryin' child Set ten thousand supper tables Now it's time to rest those hands a while Those hands have done some prayin' Worn just one wedding band Now there ain't much time And there ain't much strength But there's a lot of love left in those hands If i had a dime for every bu*ton she sewed All the tears she's dried and bedtime stories she's told I'd buy back the years back from old father time Just sit here and hold her hands in mine Those hands have rocked some cradles Calmed many a cryin' child Set ten thousand supper tables Now it's time to rest those hands a while Those hands have done some prayin' Worn just one wedding band Now there ain't much time And there ain't much strength But there's a lot of love left in those hands There's a lot of love left in those hands
