Joey + Rory - Hammerin' Nails Lyrics






My Daddy bought 5 acres
High up on a hill
And he went there every evening
When he got off at the mill
And he cleared the trees and brush away
And leveled out some land
Then he dug a hole and poured a slab
With his own workin' hands

Then he showed me a picture
Of a big house in a book
And said "when we get her finished, son.
This is how she's gonna look"
Then he buckled on his tool belt
And grabbed a 2 by 6
And said "you gotta frame a sturdy wall
Before you ever lay a brick"

He was hammerin' nails
In our foundation
Building our home
Up good and strong
To stand the winds
Of life's temptations
To build our house well
He was a hammerin' nails

We worked with him on the weekends
Until our muscles hurt
Then mama'd come and get us
And take us all to church
She read us from the bible
About Noah and the flood
About John, and Paul, and Jesus
How he washed us in the blood

And she was hammerin' nails
In our foundation
Building our home
Up good and strong
To stand the winds
Of life's temptations
With every story she'd tell
She was a hammerin' nails

Yeah they raised us well
By hammerin' nails

    I miss sweet Joey so much! I don't know how the angels sing, but they have another sweet voice. I hope Rory continues one day to sing again. I know he misses his other half so much!

  5. R.... K....

    Working on my own fixer upper and it is a house in the mountains

  6. R.... S....

    I wish I had listened to my dad when he was hammering nails

    R.... S....

    I wish I listened to my dad when he talked about how to change the oil in my car. I really miss him.

  7. R.... M....

    I miss you so much Rory! May God keep your family close to his heart!

  8. v.... s....

    your voices were made to go together, so sorry for your lost. But just remember you had her as long as God allowed.So glad you both had your time together

  9. S.... B....

  11. s.... b....

  12. p.... r....

    but that is the life of mortals.pero eso es la vida de los mortales

  13. p.... r....

    My soul is broken, by tears by this family of Godmi alma esta estrujada, por las lagrimas por esta familia de Dios

    I love that music because it's my one of my favorite song.

  15. S.... T....

    rip to Joey she will be missed

  16. S.... T....

    I KNOW IT WONDERFUL AND PRAISE FOR JOEY

  17. S.... D....

    I am still praying for God to work his miracle in his time and he will. God just wrap your arms around her and heal her in Jesus name I pray. You are a blessing to me.

  20. z.... m....

    So nice.Just beautiful music sung by beautiful people.

  21. v.... r....

    lovely beautful song

  22. S.... C....

    I love your music. It's gospel and heart warming. I have been praying for Joey and I still believe in miracles. God is good!

    S.... C....

    +Sandra Clifton I too have been praying. I know that *GOD has THIS* and I still believe in *Miracles*. Praying for a Cure.

    S.... C....

    Yes, God has this and I believe we are going to see a miracle. God has them all in his arms.

    S.... C....

    @Sandra Clifton
    Amen. I could not agree more. I fought *Cancer* and have been *NED for almost 3 years. I know that *GOD* has *Rory*, *Joey*, *Heidi*, *Hopie* and *Indiana* in *His Arms*.

    S.... C....

    +Sandra Clifton Sometimes, the miracle of God is not healing. He knows what is best, and what is needful. Her faith was strong to the end.

    S.... C....

    I don't know what to say. My heart is broken and though I never met "Joey" I feel like I lost a "Sister". I love how she loved life and was always happy despite all that she went through. You see I am a "Cancer Survivor" so I can relate to what treatments can do to one's body. On that note she is singing praises with the "Lord" now and is "Healthy", "Happy", "Free from her Pain" and the "Cancer" is gone and now *Joey* is  looking down on her family smiling. "Joey" was and is the kind of "Loving" & "Caring" woman I strive to be though I have a long journey to travel before I will get there. May "God" bring *Peace & Comfort* to *Rory*, *Hopie*, *Heidi* and *Lil' Indiana*. *Forever In My Heart*.

    I Love you *Joey* *Rest In Peace Sweet Sweet Angel*. :'(

    Thank you. I hope to meet you some way and some how. I love your music.

  36. t.... a....

    this is true country music

  37. G.... ....

    This is real country music, not the bubble gum you hear today. Thank you Joey & Rory for staying true to your country roots and your Christian beliefs. This is my favorite off your Inspired Album. Nashville bound folks need to take a lesson from your two. There is more to C & W music than bars, booze, and cheating. Carrie Underwood's Jesus take the Wheel is proof of that. As is Vince Gills Go Rest High on the Mountain. BTW Bible and the Belt is great too.

    G.... ....

    A-MEN Sister!

  38. g.... f....

    love you two keep it up god bless you all and the new one coming in feb

  39. k.... d....

    You two are an inspiration to me. Not only the beautiful music, you can really tell you love each other. God bless you.

  40. D.... M....

    Some of the very best country music on hare

  41. D.... M....
