LYRICS:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
My old man had calloused hands and a weathered face
He taught me how to work the land and handle loss with grace
Said "Son, you treat folks right, the way you'd want to be"
Now I'm teaching my boy the same things he taught me

[Verse 2]
We fixed that fence line in the summer heat
He showed me how to swing a hammer, how to stand on my own feet
Said "Keep your word like gospel, pray when times get hard"
And every Sunday morning, we'd bow our heads to God

[Chorus]
It's a chain that won't be broken
Words don't need to all be spoken
From father unto son, the river keeps on flowing on
The lessons and the love, they echo down the years
Through the laughter and the tears
One day he'll pass it on, and on, and on

[Verse 3]
Now my boy's got dirt beneath his nails, working by my side
Teaching him the golden rule ain't something you can hide
It's in the way you live each day, the promises you keep
The prayers you say before you lay your head down for some sleep

[Bridge]
I see my father in his eyes
The same way he saw his
It's more than blood that binds us tight
It's showing him what living right is

[Chorus]
It's a chain that won't be broken
Words don't need to all be spoken
From father unto son, the river keeps on flowing on
The lessons and the love, they echo down the years
Through the laughter and the tears
One day he'll pass it on, and on, and on

[Final Chorus]
It's a chain that won't be broken
Sacred vows we've left unspoken
From father unto son, the river keeps on flowing on
The lessons and the love, they carry through the years
Through the hard times and the tears
And he'll pass it on
Yeah, he'll pass it on
And on, and on

[Outro]
One day when I'm gone
It goes on, and on, and on
