Daddy Did

In the Fall, the crops came in Because he planted in the Spring He didn’t need a reason to He didn’t think about such things

That dirt was in his blood It was who he was With patience and precision He dug in and got it done

No one could hoe a row like Daddy Did No one could make things grow like Daddy Did He brought up each acre While the sun beat on his back With a little help from Jesus And The Farmer’s Almanac I watched him every season as a kid That’s how I know what Daddy Did

I rode behind the tractor seat I saw him work the plow from there He didn’t want a better life He said there wasn’t one nowhere

That dirt was in his blood It was who he was With patience and precision He dug in and got it done

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

He taught me what he knew I looked up to him He isn’t really gone I still do what Daddy Did

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]

I loved everything about him That’s why I do what Daddy Did
