Last summer, I was walking with my daddy
Through his withered fields of grain
But he wouldn't curse the sun
Or give up on the rain
I said, "why don't you sell this place
And move to town, you'd have money to burn"
He said, "Son, don'tcha understand
I don't do this for what I earn"

It's just for the love of it
That's all the reason you need
What more could anyone ask?
Satisfaction guaranteed
And don't chase rainbows
For your pot of gold
You'll always have enough
If you do everything
You do just for the love

Drove on back to Nashville thinkin'
Daddy's words could not be true
How could a man keep pouring out his heart
Just to get it broke in two
But lookin' 'round these two bare rooms
I realize he wasn't wrong
'Cause I'm pickin' up this old guitar
To pour out another song
It's just for the love of it
That's all the reason you need
What more could anyone ask?
Satisfaction guaranteed
And don't chase rainbows
For your pot of gold
You'll always have enough
If you do everything
You do just for the love

Last week, I was walking with my daddy
Through the golden fields of grain
Givin' thanks to heaven above
For the sunshine and the rain
Just leave it in the good Lord's hands
He always will provide
And you'll know what His reason is
If you stop and ask Him why

It's just for the love of it
That's all the reason you need
What more could anyone ask?
Satisfaction guaranteed
And don't chase rainbows
For your pot of gold
You'll always have enough
If you do everything
You do just for the love
And don't chase rainbows
For your pot of gold
You'll always have enough
If you do everything
You do just for the love
