My daddy was a charmer, boys He had a lot of style He was the shining best at everything he did They said that he could lighten up The room with just a smile And I was proud as hell to be his kid
Seems like just as we were growing Close together, he was gone But it was long enough to show what I could be And I sometimes feel his spirit Fill my body like a song And this is what my daddy sings to me
When they dealt me down n dirty In a way I'd not deserved I felt better when I took it like a man Cause if you let em drive you crazy, girl They'll shut your business down Shake if off and get your licks in when you can Cause the heart is all that matters in the end The heart is all that matters in the end
Seems like every song is sweeter When your singin' from the heart I won't knock it cause I've tried it and it's true And I may never get to heaven, but I've seen a lot of stars And I'm here to bring the same advice to you so
When they deal you down n? dirty In a way you don't deserve You'll feel better if you take it like a man (or a woman) Cause if you let em drive you crazy, boys They'll shut your business down Shake if off and get your licks in when you can Cause the heart is all that matters in the end The heart is all that matters in the end
