had an uncle named matthew
he was his father¡�¯s only boy
born just south of cobly, kansas
he was his mother¡�¯s pride and joy
yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
love is just the way to live and die
gold is just a windy kansas wheatfield
and blue is just a kansas summer sky
and all the stories that he told me
back when i was just a lad
all the memories that he gave me
all the good times that he had
growin¡�¯ up a kansas farmboy
life was mostly havin¡�¯ fun
ridin¡�¯ on his daddy¡�¯s shoulders
behind a view beneath the sun
yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
love is just the way to live and die
gold is just a windy kansas wheatfield
and blue is just a kansas summer sky
well, i guess there were some hard times
and i¡�¯m told some years were lean
they had a storm in forty-seven
a twister came and stripped them clean
he lost the farm and lost his family
he lost the wheat and lost his home
but he found a family bible
faith as solid as a stone
yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
love is just the way to live and die
gold is just a windy kansas wheatfield
and blue is just a kansas summer sky
so he came to live at our house
and he came to work the land
he came to ease my daddy¡�¯s burden
and he came to be my friend
so, i wrote this down for matthew
and it¡�¯s for him the song is sung
ridin¡�¯ on his daddy¡�¯s shoulders
behind a view beneath the sun
yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
love is just the way to live and die
gold is just a windy kansas wheatfield
and blue is just a kansas summer sky
yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
love is just the way to live and die
gold is just a windy kansas wheatfield
blue is just a kansas summer sky
