"Father's Prayer" lyrics

Hope you like old guitars as much as I do
Hope you find the wisdom in your old man's roots
Hope you grow to know when love is real
And shiny things and money, ain't no big deal

And I hope you have a little talk with Jesus
Anytime you think the world don't treat you fair
Hope you know when you need me, I'm always there
And that you're an answer to a father's prayer

I kinda hope my old truck is your first car
Hope that when you spread your wings you don't fly too far
I pray, yeah, I pray you get your patience from your mama
And I hope that voice inside you tells you right from wrong

And I hope you have a little talk with Jesus
Anytime you think the world don't treat you fair
Hope you know when you need me, I'm always there
And that you're an answer to a father's prayer

It seems not that long ago
I was countin' fingers and countin' toes
But I sure love to watch you grow up
Man, it goes so fast

Hope you know when you need, I'm always there
I pray God is listenin' to this father's prayer
