Lyrics
Daddy Played Guitar
w/m Mark James Wood © 2007
Daddy Played Guitar, played it all the time
Momma sang along, writin' verse writin' rhymes
Pencil to paper, fingers to strings
The stories they told, mean everything to me
Daddy Played Guitar, played it all the time
A simple way then, we lived in the country way
School and fishin' made for fun most everyday
Tom Sawyer, bait on hooks
Row boats, readin' books
A simple way then, we lived the country way
Solo ~ Acoustic, Guitar, Steel and Fiddle
Bridge
They say blood runs thicker than water
And the fruit don't fall far from the tree
One thing I know for sure
It's all a part of me
It seems like yesterday, but it was long ago
Times are different now, never be the same I know
But now I play the guitar, I write my rhymes
I remember the stories, I remember the times
It seems like yesterday, but it was long ago
That Daddy Played Guitar, And momma sang along
