Sit Here for a While
Well, Daddy was born the first
Out of five kids
Had a loving family
Their dreams were just as big
He excelled in high school
He really towed the line
Then he moved on to college
Along the Missouri border line
Well, Daddy won't you sit here for a while
And tell me all your stories from experiences in life
Well, tell me 'bout the good ol' days
How you made it to where you are
Tell me 'bout how you made it through
When it started to get hard
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
Well, Daddy moved on to the Navy
He was willing to walk the line
He went to fight for our country
To save your freedom and mine
He went to the Middle East
Through the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea
He went out there to fight
For our lives in the land of the free
When Daddy came home
He met his future wife
And settled down and found a place
To live his life
So Daddy won't you sit here for a while
And tell me all your stories from experiences in life
Tell me 'bout the good ol' days
How you made it to where you are
Tell me 'bout how you made it through
When it started to get hard
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
Daddy you're my hero
You know I love you so much
Tell me all that you've been through
With life and faith and such
And you're not just my hero
You're this country's fighting troop
The U.S.A wouldn't be free
Without people like you
So Daddy won't you sit here for a while
And tell me all your stories from experiences in life
Well, tell me 'bout the good ol' days
How you made it to where you are
Tell me 'bout how you made it through
When it started to get hard
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
Out of five kids
Had a loving family
Their dreams were just as big
He excelled in high school
He really towed the line
Then he moved on to college
Along the Missouri border line
Well, Daddy won't you sit here for a while
And tell me all your stories from experiences in life
Well, tell me 'bout the good ol' days
How you made it to where you are
Tell me 'bout how you made it through
When it started to get hard
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
Well, Daddy moved on to the Navy

Tell me 'bout how you made it through
When it started to get hard
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
