"Miss My Daddy" lyrics

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, aw 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

And I just miss my daddy, aw 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
'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

'Cause I just miss my daddy, aw yeah
I miss all the things we did together
I sure wish I had him
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

Mmm, yeah
I just miss my daddy
I just miss my dad
