Tomala Harris

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tom came home with a sling on his shoulder, Doctor said, “Easy now, don’t be a folder.” Buttons took a minute, his jacket took two, But he grinned at the mirror: “I’ll see this through.” [Pre-Chorus] Left hand resting, right hand ready, One-arm champion, steady and steady. When the little jobs pile up in a row, Tomala Harris puts on a show. [Chorus] Hey, Tomala Harris, moving just right, One good arm and a heart full of might. Tie that shoe, stir that tea, Make a one-arm living look easy. Hey, Tomala Harris, take it in stride, A little more patience, a whole lot of pride. Shoulder’s healing, step by step, He’s got the right-hand rhythm yet! [Verse 2] He learned how to carry his mug with care, And pull on a shirt with a practiced flair. The jar stayed stubborn, the keys went astray, He found a new method by the end of the day. [Pre-Chorus] Left hand resting, right hand ready, Take it slow and keep it steady. When the small stuff tries to steal the show, Tomala Harris says, “Watch me go!” [Chorus] Hey, Tomala Harris, moving just right, One good arm and a heart full of might. Tie that shoe, stir that tea, Make a one-arm living look easy. Hey, Tomala Harris, take it in stride, A little more patience, a whole lot of pride. Shoulder’s healing, step by step, He’s got the right-hand rhythm yet! [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] No need to rush, no need to prove, He finds his balance, he finds his groove. And when the hard days come around, He laughs, takes a breath, and turns it around. [Final Chorus] Hey, Tomala Harris, moving just right, One good arm and a heart full of might. Tie that shoe, stir that tea, Make a one-arm living look easy. Hey, Tomala Harris, take it in stride, A little more patience, a whole lot of pride. Shoulder’s healing, step by step, He’s got the right-hand rhythm yet! [Outro] Tomala Harris, doing all right, One step, one task, one dance tonight!
