Tractor wheels at the break of day Out in the field you can hear him say "Keep it steady, son" He's passin' it on A little girl on her mama's lap Good night moon and a cat in a hat And she sings her a song She's passin' it on It takes a lot of love to plant the seed And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree It takes someone to show her just how it's done From the old to the young Passin' it on He met his bride in 'Nam in '65 Brought her all the way home, glad to be alive They showed everyone And had a beautiful son She was in Birmingham with Dr. King Still teachin' school, still livin' his dream One on one Passin' it on It takes a lot of love to plant the seed 'Cause the apple doesn't fall far from the tree It takes someone to show her just how it's done From the old to the young Passin' it on Two years ago, my father died I looked into my children's eyes They said, "Daddy, be strong" That's what he would've done It takes a lot of love to plant the seed 'Cause the apple doesn't fall far from the tree It takes someone to show her just how it's done From the old to the young Passin' it on From the old to the young Passin' it on Just passin' it on
