Bottom Of The Pile - NSAI "One to Watch" March 2022

Sundays were for church and mamma's home cooked meals And after supper our backyard became a football field It was always Dad against us kids and our winning streak survived By tacklin' that one-man team just short of the goal line Looking back now it's plain as day To dad it was so much more than a game He lived for the bottom of the pile Smothered by kids, laughter and smiles He taught us to be tough To never give up He hung onto his inner child At the bottom of the pile Dad worked allota overtime at the local factory His chair was empty during Grace most nights of the week But he was home in time to kiss every one of us good night Made sure we brushed our teeth before turning out the lights After we said our prayers he talked a little smack ‘bout who was gonna win Sunday's Super Bowl out back >> Chorus 1 He lived for the bottom of the pile Smothered by kids, laughter and smiles He taught us to be tough To never give up He hung onto his inner child At the bottom of the pile Now I've been blessed with three kids of my own and that Sunday tradition is still going strong I live for the bottom of the pile Smothered by kids, laughter and smiles I teach 'em to be tough To never give up Just like Dad I found my inner child At the bottom of the pile It's all about love, laughter, and smiles At the bottom of the pile
