What Daddy Says
Daddy was raised on a rocky Utah soil
And just like the earth he could be hard and no stranger to toil
Well it's no secret we didn't always agree
Still as I grow old I'm grateful for the things he taught me
There is strength in remembering where you come from
But even there you may have to stand alone
And life is hard but child I know you've got the courage
And life is short so don't forget to have a little fun
That's what daddy says, that's what daddy does
Out in the Utah desert where the land is dry and tough
They were catching wild horses by leading them to the trough
Dad always admired a certain burro's grit
Her herd was trapped by thirst but she refused to submit
There is strength in remembering where you come from
But even there you may have to stand alone
And life is hard but child I know you've got the courage
And life is short so don't forget to have a little fun
That's what daddy says, that's what daddy does
Senior year, heartbreak, I didn't want to carry on
Dad left a note, "hold your head up, hunker down"
Now our daughter's in the NICU and her future is unknown
But daddy's words still echo, son, it's time to hunker down
There is strength in remembering where you come from
But even there you may have to stand alone
And life is hard but child I know you've got the courage
And life is short so don't forget to have a little fun
That's what daddy says, that's what daddy does
Mmm yes he does
And just like the earth he could be hard and no stranger to toil
Well it's no secret we didn't always agree
Still as I grow old I'm grateful for the things he taught me
There is strength in remembering where you come from
But even there you may have to stand alone
And life is hard but child I know you've got the courage
And life is short so don't forget to have a little fun
That's what daddy says, that's what daddy does
Out in the Utah desert where the land is dry and tough
They were catching wild horses by leading them to the trough
Dad always admired a certain burro's grit
Her herd was trapped by thirst but she refused to submit
There is strength in remembering where you come from
But even there you may have to stand alone
And life is hard but child I know you've got the courage
And life is short so don't forget to have a little fun
That's what daddy says, that's what daddy does
Senior year, heartbreak, I didn't want to carry on
Dad left a note, "hold your head up, hunker down"
Now our daughter's in the NICU and her future is unknown
But daddy's words still echo, son, it's time to hunker down
There is strength in remembering where you come from
But even there you may have to stand alone
And life is hard but child I know you've got the courage
And life is short so don't forget to have a little fun
That's what daddy says, that's what daddy does
Mmm yes he does
