His daddy taught him all about huntin' and fishin'   How to work on that old truck when it needed fixin'   How to say, 'Sir' and how to say, 'Ma'am'   How there ain't nothing wrong with getting dirt on your hands      Have mercy on all of the kids out there   Who haven't been raised to even care   About things like that   These days      His momma used to cook every meal in the kitchen   She helped with his homework and taught him religion   She laid down the law and he let her know   Where he was going and when he'd be home      Have mercy on all of the kids out there   Who haven't been raised to even care   About things like that   These days      As the years changed him from a boy to a man   He was blessed with a generous heart and a plan   Wherever life takes him, wherever he's at   He's gonna find some way to give something back      Now his weekends are spent doing what he loves most   With twelve little angels who call him 'Coach'   Some have nothing and some are spoiled rotten   But when they're with him they're not forgotten      Have mercy on all of the parents out there   Who haven't been raised to even care   About things like that   These days      As the years changed him from a boy to a man   He was blessed with a generous heart and a plan   Wherever life takes him, wherever he's at   He's gonna find some way to give something back      Have mercy on all of the parents out there   Who haven't been raised to even care   About things like that   These days      Have mercy on all of the kids out there   Who haven't been raised to even care   About things like that   These days
