Unc Knew First

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Unc had a pocket full of hard-earned truth Work boots scuffed from the back row pew Seen a bad turn turn into a Sunday glow Said "boy, life runs where the river goes" He didn't brag, he just nodded slow Cut his own trail through the rain and snow If you asked how he made it through He'd grin and say, "same way you do" [Pre-Chorus] Been there, done that Carried that weight Took them hits Still found grace You can learn it the hard way Or you can hear him say [Chorus] Unc been there and done that Unc been there and done that But if you must know God was in it all God was in it all Unc knew first, that's all (Unc knew first) [Verse 2] Saw a broke-down truck and a broke-down plan Still held hope in a calloused hand When the floor fell out and the nights got long He'd tap his chest and hum that song No big sermon, no fancy line Just "hold on, child, God's got time" And every scar that sat on him Looked like proof where the mercy had been [Pre-Chorus] Been there, done that Carried that weight Took them hits Still found grace You can learn it the hard way Or you can hear him say [Chorus] Unc been there and done that Unc been there and done that But if you must know God was in it all God was in it all Unc knew first, that's all (Unc knew first) [Bridge] Now I got my boots on the floorboards Spin you around, take it slow Every lesson that he left me Keeps on pulling me home When I think I walked alone I hear that old voice roll [Chorus] Unc been there and done that Unc been there and done that But if you must know God was in it all God was in it all Unc knew first, that's all (Unc knew first)
