Album: Years Ago
They say he held me just the way new Daddy's always do,
Kinda like he was afraid I would break in two,
And everything he did would make me laugh so I've been told,
He bought a war bond in my name when I was 2 weeks old.
He never made me button up, or made sure I wore a hat,
PTA and Sunday School, Mama did all that,
I know now that he wanted to do more than he did,
But I had no way of knowing then, cause I was just a kid.
He taught me how to drive a car and fire a 16 gauge,
He taught me how to shoot 9 ball before I was of age,
He taught me how to bluff a straight while holding just pair,
He never had all the answers, but he was always there.
He never took me fishin', or mentioned birds and bees,
And I can count on one hand the times he raised his voice at me,
He had an edge on education, and wisdom was his tool,
He could tell two days before it snowed and you can't learn that in school.
He taught me how to tie a tie and read an almanac,
He taught me how to catch a horse and how to ride him back,
He told me, "Son a woman will get madder at you,
For something you don't do to her than for something that you do."
So dad if you can hear us, if there's radio's up there,
Turn it up and listen, your boys are on the air,
We never could repay you, no matter what we do,
But we wrote this song and sang it, and we did it just for you.
