"Daddy Was" lyrics

It was a Hanes T tucked in Levi jeans
Leather belt branded 316
He had duct tape holding up
That black KJV beat-up Bible
Every Sunday he'd shake every hand
Wasn't just one day that he gave a damn
If Jesus needed more than a twelve-man band
Man, he'd be His thirteenth disciple

Daddy was changing tires, changing lives
Pissing folks off on Wednesday nights
'Cause he'd open the doors for the town whores
And the drunks
If a family needed picking up
He'd grab the key to that old church bus
Didn't matter how many miles man
He'd just drive
So before I kiss the sky
I hope I'm half the guy my daddy was

Yeah he hated potluck dinners
Loved the hell outta them sinners
Never got tired of preaching but he sure got sick
Of that green bean casserole
He was a comic Kane and a toilet brush
On his knees working while praying for us
That headstone in the ground outside of town
Couldn't hold a good man down

Daddy was changing tires, changing lives
Pissing folks off on Wednesday nights
'Cause he'd open the doors for the town whores
And the drunks
If a family needed picking up
He'd grab the key to that old church bus
Didn't matter how many miles man
He'd just drive
So before I kiss the sky
I hope I'm half the guy

My daddy was first one in, the last one out
Yeah he'd do it again if heaven let him come back down
Right now, he'd be

Changing tires and changing lives
Pissing folks off on Wednesday nights
He'd open the doors for the town whores
And the drunks
If a family needed picking up
He'd grab the key to that old church bus
Didn't matter how many miles man
He'd just drive
So before I kiss the sky
I hope I'm half the guy my daddy was
Yeah my daddy was
