"McArthur" lyrics
HARDY, Eric Church, Morgan Wallen & Tim McGraw Lyrics
My name's John McArthur and I work this dirt
Till they lay me down in it in my one good shirt
I kept my family fed with a mule and a plow
I'm a whisper in the wind through the pine trees now
And my bloodline, it bled on this ground
Soon we all find that's where we're bound
And Father Time don't leave anyone out
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
I'm Junior McArthur and I join my old man
By way of a bullet in Vietnam
Left behind my woman and my boy named Jones
Never got to meet him but he's carrying on
My bloodline that bled on this ground
Soon we'll all find that's where we're bound
And Father Time don't leave anyone out
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
I'm Jones McArthur and I tried like hell
To teach my son why a man don't sell
But he came home from college seeing dollar signs
Didn't wanna go to work, just wanted me to die
And I'm Hunter McArthur and the deal looks good
In eighteen months this'll be a neighborhood
I got a million dollar line I can sign my name on
But there's a whisper in the pines that's tellin' me don't
Sayin' my bloodline, it bled on this ground
Soon we all find that's where we're bound
And Father Time don't leave anyone out
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down?
Till they lay me down in it in my one good shirt
I kept my family fed with a mule and a plow
I'm a whisper in the wind through the pine trees now
And my bloodline, it bled on this ground
Soon we all find that's where we're bound
And Father Time don't leave anyone out
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
I'm Junior McArthur and I join my old man
By way of a bullet in Vietnam
Left behind my woman and my boy named Jones
Never got to meet him but he's carrying on
My bloodline that bled on this ground
Soon we'll all find that's where we're bound
And Father Time don't leave anyone out
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
I'm Jones McArthur and I tried like hell
To teach my son why a man don't sell
But he came home from college seeing dollar signs
Didn't wanna go to work, just wanted me to die
And I'm Hunter McArthur and the deal looks good
In eighteen months this'll be a neighborhood
I got a million dollar line I can sign my name on
But there's a whisper in the pines that's tellin' me don't
Sayin' my bloodline, it bled on this ground
Soon we all find that's where we're bound
And Father Time don't leave anyone out
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
And when you pass on, what you gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down?
Gonna pass down?
