My Daddy's Dad

Vs1)
Born in 1947, a prayer sent down from heaven
The only child his parents ever had
In the heart of ole Kentucky, he grew up an Opry junkie
I'm the one who's lucky to call him my daddy's dad

Vs2)
By the time he was eleven he'd found his obsession
Cutting burly they raised in the field out back
While he was still a young man, he inherited the farmland
But He stood ten feet tall in his overalls that's my Daddy's Dad

CH)
He's the reason why I play and sing
To me that old man means everything
Growing up he was the greatest grandpa any boy could have
My Daddy's Dad

Vs3)
At 26 he married, and soon my Nana carried
The only son they would ever have
They named that baby Roger, and he became my Father
A stubborn man with an iron hand, just like my Daddy's Dad

Chorus

Vs4)
He always dreamed I'd be a big star, He bought me my first guitar,
A six string with a homemade leather strap
Music was his passion, and it's funny how life happens
The biggest fan I'll ever have..that's my Daddy's Dad

Br)
Mending fences and forgiveness
Hoeing weeds and common sense
Life lessons that he taught me
Someday I'm gonna miss

Ch3)
The reason why I play and sing
To me that old man means everything
Growing up he was the greatest grandpa any boy could have
My Daddy's Dad

Tag)
Yeah, growing up he was the greatest Grandpa any boy could have
My Daddy's Dad
