Lyrics

There were a few books on his shelf
Zane Grey, and a Bible, and nothing else
Never went too far in school
Always thought himself a fool
So much he couldn’t understand
But give him a torch and some medal rod
He could weld anything in this world by god
When it came to workin’ with his hands
He was an educated man
Chorus
He was a master of his trade
Can fix anything ever made, with his hands
Smarter than most PHD’s
Can build anything you see, with his hands
He was an educated man

He never traveled very far
He’d only leave that farm to pick up parts
And the only world he knew was his shop and all them tools
And the work he had to do
But give him a hammer and a box of nails
He could build you a wagon, or a ship that sails
When it came to working with his hands
He was an educated man
