Lyrics

OH DADDY Key of E I FOUND A LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER A LIST OF DADDY’S FAVORITE SONGS HIDDIN’ IN HIS GUITARCASE HE USED TO TAKE TO THE ALL NIGHT SING-A-LONGS I FIGURED MAYBE I’D IMPRESS HIM SO I LEARNED EACH SONG THE BEST I COULD BUT HE NEVER REALLY PAID ATTENTION SO IT NEVER- SEEMED- TO DO, NO GOOD. (CHORUS) OH- DADDY, HOW I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO KNOW YOU OH- DADDY, ALL THE SONGS WE’LL NEVER SING OH- DADDY, HOW I WOULD’VE LIKE TO SHOW YOU ALL THE JOY THAT YOUR LITTLE BOY CAN BRING OH- DADDY-- I RECALL ONE SATURDAY MY DADDY CAME TO PICK ME UP HE TOOK ME TO HIS FAVORITE TAVERN DOWN THE ROAD IN HIS OLD PICK-UP TRUCK. I GOT A POP AND A PILE OF CHANGE I MET HIS FRIENDS AND HEARD SOME GREAT STORIES I KNOW IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT AT THE TIME IT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME (REPEAT CHORUS) I’VE NOTHING LEFT BUT MEMORIES OF A LITTLE BOY STANDIN’ AT THE DOOR I HUGGED HIS LEG AND I USED TO ASK HIM WHY HE DIDN’T COME AROUND NO MORE MY DADDY DRANK HIS LIFE AWAY BUT I’M THE ONE WHO HAD TO PAY FOR YEARS I TRIED TO LET HIM KNOW HE HAD A SON, WHO REALLY, LOVED- HIM SO. (REPEAT CHORUS)
