All them long drives down to Alabama Just the two of us Learnin' how to clean a truck
And how to work a clutch Watchin' how he loved on Mom And how he talked to God
Lookin' back, he sure taught me a lot
* And I just miss my daddy, ah yeah I miss all the things we did together
I sure wish I had him, yes, I do Just to sit and talk to me forever
I'd tell him 'bout how All the dreams we used to dream are really comin' true
And how his grandkids talk about the man they never knew
I'd ask him all 'bout Heaven What it's like up there with You
I'd pray You'd let him stay a day or two 'Cause I just miss my daddy
Yeah, there's sure been times it's hit me hard Like when I finished school
Or watched my bride walk down the aisle The day we said, "I do"
Just like the nights our kids were born I really cried some tears
So thankful they were in my arms But sad he wasn't here
( * )
'Cause I just miss my daddy Miss the way I had it
Back when he was 'round Might've took it all for granted then But I sure wouldn't now
It's hard for me to understand Why You took him when You did
Lord, and I can't wait to see his face again
( * )
Mm, yeah I just miss my daddy I just miss my dad
