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
