Had an uncle named Matthew
Was his fatheré¥æª only boy
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
Was his motheré¥æª pride and joy
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky
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
Growiné¥up a Kansas farmboy
Life was mostly haviné¥fun
Ridiné¥on his Daddyé¥æª shoulders
Behind a mule beneath the sun
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue is just a Kansas summer sky
Well, I guess there were some hard times
And Ié¥æª 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 was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue, 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 Daddyé¥æª burden
And he came to be my friend
So, I wrote this down for Matthew
And ité¥æª for him the song is sung
Ridiné¥on his Daddyé¥æª shoulders
Behind a Mule beneath the sun
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue,was just a Kansas summer sky
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love was just the way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky

The U2 song bad is the highest rock
and this song by John Denver is the
highest country western song.
John, the One (There is not only one
Universe. There are an infinite number
of Universes. Why should Infinity stop
at one Universe? John, the One

Such a lovely song. He structured the song so that he could really tell people to CHILL OUT a little bit =)
