Lyrics
I remember walking with my daddy through
His weathered fields of grain
But he wouldn’t curse the sun or
Give up on the rain
I ask him why don’t you sell this place
Move to town you’ll have money to burn
He said son you don’t understand I don’t
Do this for what I earn
Oh it’s just for the love of it
That’s all the reason you need
What more could anyone
Ask satisfaction guaranteed
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love
Drove on back to Nashville thinking
That my daddy’s words couldn’t be true
How could a man keep pouring out his
Heart just to get it broke into
Then I looked around my two bare
Rooms and realized he wasn’t wrong
And picked up this old guitar
And poured out another song
Oh it’s just for the love of it
That’s all the reason you need
What more could anyone
Ask satisfaction guaranteed
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love
The next summer I walked with my daddy
Through his golden fields of grain
Giving thanks to heaven above for
The sunshine and the rain
Just leave it in the good Lords
Hands He always will provide
And you’ll know what His reason is you
Don’t even have ask Him why
He’ll say just for the love of it
That’s all the reason you need
What more could anyone
Ask satisfaction guaranteed
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love=
Don’t chase rainbows or your pot of
Gold you’ll always have enough
If you’ll do everything you do
Just for the love
