Nobody Asked Me How I Did It

Lyrics

Got up at five for thirty years
Filled the thermos, laced my boots
Never made the evening news
Never asked for any proof
My neighbour's got a trophy
My cousin's got a name
I've got a quiet kitchen
And a lamp that stays the same

And that's all right with me
That's all right with me

Nobody asked me how I did it
Kept the roof up, kept the faith
Nobody asked me how I did it
One more day, then one more day
But I know what it took, I know the weight I bore
And I'm proud in a way that don't need an encore
Nobody asked me how I did it
And that's okay

My daughter learned to drive my truck
She never knew the miles
She only knows the porch light
And her daddy's tired smile
I paid off every dollar
I owe no man a thing
That's a song without a chorus
But it's the one I sing

And that's all right with me
That's all right with me

Nobody asked me how I did it
Kept the roof up, kept the faith
Nobody asked me how I did it
One more day, then one more day
But I know what it took, I know the weight I bore
And I'm proud in a way that don't need an encore
Nobody asked me how I did it
And that's okay

Some pride is loud as thunder
Some pride is soft as snow
It sits down in the evening
With nowhere left to go

Nobody asked me how I did it
Kept the roof up, kept the faith
Nobody asked me how I did it
One more day, then one more day
But I know what it took, I know the weight I bore
And I'm proud in a way that don't need an encore
Nobody asked me how I did it
And that's okay

And that's okay
Yeah, that's okay
