He didn't have to buy that
Christmas Eve 243 when money was tight
He didn't have to trail that 8-point buck all night with a Maglite
He didn't have to make every ball game
Every hit and every miss
He didn't have to go upstairs, say my prayer and tuck me in
But Daddy did
I was 10 foot tall shotgun ridin'
Taggin' along with my red rider
Dreamin' 'bout drivin' that three on the tree
Glad I didn't pass up what he passed down to me
That front porch hand me down pocket knife wisdom
Hold your mouth right whenever you're fishin'
I didn't realize he was teachin' me all about life when I was a kid
But Daddy did
Didn't know he knew what I was up to
When I'd sneak in at 3 a.m.
He knew good and well the hard way' the only way
To get through to a hard head
When I made mistakes, he didn't have to hate
Makin' me go cut a switch
I didn't believe it was gonna hurt him more than me, not one bit
But Daddy did
I was 10 foot tall shotgun ridin'
Taggin' along with my red rider
Dreamin' 'bout drivin' that three on the tree
Glad I didn't pass up what he passed down to me
That front porch hand me down pocket knife wisdom
Hold your mouth right whenever you're fishin'
I didn't realize he was teachin' me all about life when I was a kid
But Daddy did
Now it's my time to take the wheel
I got some big ole shoes to fill
10 foot tall shotgun ridin'
Taggin' along with my red rider
Now my little girl's learnin' to drive that Ford
Daddy taught me in now I'm payin' it forward
That front porch hand me down pocket knife wisdom
Hold your mouth right whenever you're fishin'
I didn't realize he was teachin' me all about life when I was a kid
I didn't realize he was teachin' me all about life
But Daddy did
Yeah, Daddy did
