C F C
One day I opened up an old and dusty drawer
G
A little rudty piece of steel fell out on the floor
F Dm
As I went to pick it up my memory came back strong
F G
It was daddy's pocket knife
Bb F C
He carried for so long
[Chorus]
F C
As I held that rusty piece of steel there in my hand
F G
My thoughts wandered back to that hard working man
F Dm
An old piece of steel and worn out cattle bone
F G
Daddy's pocket knife
Bb F C
Has finally made it home

C F C
Probably bought it years ago at the Angle Hardware Store
G
Come home from work every day his fingers cracked and sore
F Dm
Come here my son, and sit up on my knee
F G
Let me tell you a little tale about
Bb F C
The way things used to be
[Chorus]
F C
As I held that rusty piece of steel there in my hand
F G
My thoughts wandered back to that hard working man
F Dm
An old piece of steel and worn out cattle bone
F G
Daddy's pocket knife

Has finally made it home

[Verse]
C F C
Tear fell from my eye on that dreadful day
G
I held the blade in my hand no words were left to say
F Dm
His time on Earth was near he placed it in that drawer
F G
Knowing one day his son would find
Bb F C
And carry it once more
[Chorus]
F C
As I held that rusty piece of steel there in my hand
F G
My thoughts wandered back to that hard working man
F Dm
An old piece of steel and worn out cattle bone
F G
Daddy's pocket knife
Bb F C
Has finally made it home
