Tracy Lawrence When Daddy Was A Strong Man
Old man Rad at the store would leave a note on the door
it said ran to the house, be back in a few leave your money on the counter
it was twenty six cents for the coke and some gum nothin never got stole
you could trust everyone, even out of towners
and football was played for the game and music was made for the song
when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde
i missed a bird with a rock with my new sling shot
broke a window and i was the talk of the town and that was big trouble
there was no point in runnin i tried to laugh was it worth it to see the shame in dads eye and watchin that belt get
unbuckled no way
most everyone played by the rules
right was right or wrong was wrong
when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde
though its clear as day in my mind the picture of a simpler time wish change would jut leave well enough alone
those days are gone now
when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde
now this boy on my shoulder tells all his friends that i can beat up their dads and his mamas the prettiest mama in the
world and she is
yeah i thought that to when i was his age dont remember how long id kept thinkin that way but one things for sure he'll be
standing where i am one day
but his mind will be somewhere that long
when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde
though its clear as day in my mind the picture of a simpler time wish change would jut leave well enough alone
those days are gone now
when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde
yeah daddy was a strong man he was
