Daddy

You gave this country two tours, lacing up the boots

Then planted your feet back home to water the roots

A hard-working man with a steady, stern hand

Making sure that I would always understand

The difference between the right and the wrong

Daddy, you're the reason I learned to be strong

You’re my Superman, the one who hung the moon

Taking care of Mama, keeping our lives in tune

From your daughter to your grandkids, you're our guiding light

And I thank the good Lord every single night

That I'll always be your Daddy's girl, holding on tight

And you’re still right here to see me get it right

I look back on the memories of being small

Thinking you were ten feet tall, catching every fall

You never asked for glory, you just carried the weight

Putting food on the table and keeping me straight

You protected this family with all of your heart

And showed me what love is, right from the start

'Cause you’re my Superman, the one who hung the moon

Taking care of Mama, keeping our lives in tune

From your daughter to your grandkids, you're our guiding light

And I thank the good Lord every single night

That I'll always be your Daddy's girl, holding on tight

And you’re still right here to see me get it right

It took a little living to finally see

Just how much of your strength rubbed off on me

Through the trials and the miles, you never left my side

I love you, Daddy, and I'm filled up with pride

You’re my Superman, the one who hung the moon

Taking care of Mama, keeping our lives in tune

From your daughter to your grandkids, you're our guiding light

And I thank the good Lord every single night

That I'll always be your Daddy's girl, holding on tight

Yeah, you’re still right here to see me get it right

Thank God you're still here to see me get it right
