BY A LITTLE COUNTRY HOME THERE STANDS A STONE
TO THE ONLY HERO I HAVE EVER KNOWN
THE FACTORY WAS HIS HOME FOR 40 YEARS
BUT I REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID AS I FIGHT THE TEARS
            
Chorus
GET R DONE SON, YOU GOT TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN WAY
WORK HARD EVERY DAY, AND LEARN TO BE A MAN
GET R DONE SON, DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT TOMORROW
DON’T BEG, STEAL OR BORROW, LISTEN SON…..YOU GOTTA GET R DONE

EVERYTIME I GO BACK TO MY HOME
I TAKE A WALK TO SEE MY DADDY’S STONE
HE WAS A WORKIN’ MAN AND I KNOW HOW MUCH HE CARED
BY THOSE SIMPLE WORDS THAT I SEE WRITTEN THERE

Chorus
GET R DONE SON, YOU GOT TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN WAY
WORK HARD EVERY DAY, AND LEARN TO BE A MAN
GET R DONE SON, DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT TOMORROW
DON’T BEG, STEAL OR BORROW, LISTEN SON…….YOU GOTTA GET R DONE

MY MOTHER STAYED AT HOME AND I’M GLAD SHE DID, MY DADDY WANTED HER HOME TO RAISE THE KIDS
I KNOW THAT IT WAS TOUGH TO MAKE ENDS MEET, AND I NEVER WILL FORGET WHAT HE SAID TO ME

Bridge
EVERY TIME THERE’S SWEAT UPON MY BROW, I STILL KNOW THAT MY DADDY’S PROUD
AND WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN ON A LONG HARD DAY
I CAN HEAR…. MY DADDY SAY……… 

Chorus
GET R DONE SON, YOU GOT TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN WAY
WORK HARD EVERY DAY, AND LEARN TO BE A MAN
GET R DONE SON, DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT TOMORROW
DON’T BEG, STEAL OR BORROW, LISTEN SON…….YOU GOTTA GET R DONE
LISTEN SON…….YOU GOTTA GET R DONE
