It was evenin’ front porch listnin’
To my elders in my youth
And the sound of rain drops drippin’
Off a rusty old tin roof
It was the first wish on the first star
As the summer sun was droppin’
Little pieces of a life worth watchin’

It was the minute that it hit me
That your grandma was the one
Just to say the rest was his’try
Don’t near cover all we done
It was the arguments and make ups
All our wins and all our losses
Little pieces of a life worth watchin’

It was a gravel road to a fishin’ hole
With kids loaded in the back
It was the way I sweat praying she’d say yes
It don’t get no better than that
I pray when I reach those gates
The Lord sees what I do often
Little pieces of a life worth watchin'

That was the last time I was with him
We spent hours on that porch
It was a special summer evenin'
I’m forever thankful for
I made a wish upon the first star
As the summer sun was droppin’
Little pieces of a life worth watchin’

It was a gravel road to a fishin’ hole
With kids loaded in the back
It was the way I sweat praying she’d say yes
It don’t get no better than that
I pray when I reach those gates
The Lord sees what I do often
Little pieces of a life worth watchin'

I pray when I reach those gates
The Lord sees what I do often
Little pieces of a life worth watchin'
