Daddy Said
Daddy said to stay out of those juke joints
I'll see things I don't need to see
There's no good to be found in a bottle
Or dancing with boys that I meet
Don't waste your money on that ol' song box
It'll break more than your heart
You know gamblin's set up for losers
The game ends before it starts
Daddy said to stay out of those honky tonks
Because all those satin bands play
Are songs as sad as cries under your feet
When those wooden floors creek and sway
He said your heart'll be broken like that first morning light
Your soul's gonna pray for relief
Don't seek healing powers to wash the slate clean
With the numb of the ice cold drink
Daddy sure tried to give me fair warning
There's only rain at the end of that 'bow
I guess I never was one to follow the rules
It don't hurt when nobody knows
He said stay out of those tin roofed shacks of want
A barrelhouse ain't got no class
Keep your eyes on the straight and narrow child
And keep that foot on the gas
Yea, Daddy said stay out of the Devil's den
I'll only find misery
But, Daddy, my Daddy ain't ever been me
I'll see things I don't need to see
There's no good to be found in a bottle
Or dancing with boys that I meet
Don't waste your money on that ol' song box
It'll break more than your heart
You know gamblin's set up for losers
The game ends before it starts
Daddy said to stay out of those honky tonks
Because all those satin bands play
Are songs as sad as cries under your feet
When those wooden floors creek and sway
He said your heart'll be broken like that first morning light
Your soul's gonna pray for relief
Don't seek healing powers to wash the slate clean
With the numb of the ice cold drink
Daddy sure tried to give me fair warning
There's only rain at the end of that 'bow
I guess I never was one to follow the rules
It don't hurt when nobody knows
He said stay out of those tin roofed shacks of want
A barrelhouse ain't got no class
Keep your eyes on the straight and narrow child
And keep that foot on the gas
Yea, Daddy said stay out of the Devil's den
I'll only find misery
But, Daddy, my Daddy ain't ever been me
