That's My Daddy

Had a hard hand when he needed to

Wore a growl on his lips

A lot of people thought he was angry all the time

Mama said that’s just how he is

Sometimes he’d ask me if I’m ever gonna learn

Don’t know if I ever did

Taught me bout hard work how to love and forgive

I sure hope he’s proud I was his kid

That’s my daddy

Greasy hands and dirty shirts

That’s my daddy

Worked his body til it hurt

And he gave it all

For his family

And I pray at my last call

They’ll say the same of me

Cuz that’s my daddy

Believed in me when nobody else would

Said do what you love boy you’ll never work

Got mad sometimes but was quick to forgive

Go an extra mile just to give his shirt

Everybody loved him not just his wife and his kids

His singing always made ya smile

He always said that he loved us big time

I bet he’s sure proud of us now

That’s my daddy

16 hour day o work

That’s my daddy

Make ya laugh until it hurt

And he gave it all

To his family and friends

And I pray at my last call

They say the same of me, “just like him”

That’s my daddy

Fiddle interlude

Sacrificed everything just save me from a place

One Not made for any man

Forgave us all as He suffered bled and died

Nails through His feet and hands

And He gave it all

To His family and friends

And I pray at my last call

He’ll say the same of me, just like Him

That’s My daddy
