Lyrics
He Made Me A Daddy
Verse 1
I sent up a prayer to be the next Elvis
But that prayer was returned to sender
Fell on my knees to be like Joe Montana
And all I got was short and slender
Verse 2
And just when I thought all I'd ever be
Was just another waste of time
Tears filled my eyes when I realized
Just what He had in mind...
Chorus
When He made me a daddy He made me
Everything I ever wanted to be
When I get home the kids come running out
Yea, I'm world famous in my house
I'm Elvis when I'm singing them to sleep
Richer than money could ever make me
In all the home movies I am a star
And Joe Montana in the yard...
Verse 3
I prayed to be famous like a movie star
But that neon door was also shut
I asked for money once and found a quarter
Guess I should've specified how much
Verse 4
And just when I thought all I'd ever be
Was just another waste of time
Tears filled my eyes when I realized
Just what He had in mind...
