lyrics

knotted cedar logs all stained and stacked up into walls
east-facing a-frame, clear to see the lake from
tucked in a cove there where the route runs out of road
good old basset boy passed out beside the wood stove

some see a cabin
a tack on a map with some price tag attached
some miss the world for the ground
i see my father’s house

inlays and purfl ings shine in abelone pearl
sweet sitka spruce top, classic Martin headstock
gold tune machines, man it’s fancy as can be
but you’ve gotta close your eyes to know what i mean

some hear a dreadnaught
full growling bass as the treble rides the wave
some craftsman’s fine work of art
i hear my father’s guitar

you’ll see a full grown man with his heart on his sleeve
singing, making songs to make another one
some see delusion
some see blind, deaf delusion
i see my father’s son
