It was a dark cold helluva morning riding in the pickup
we were headed to the first day of school
Man I was nervous and I think my daddy knew
He said, ?Son, don't you worry.
Just take it as it comes, be yourself and maybe give 'em a smile
He shifted to fifth and then he reached up for that radio dial

Staring out the window hear the windshield wiper buzz
and suddenly that static makes a melody for us

He'd turn the radio to WBIE
and man that music always sounded so good to me
Then you can bet that we would both be singing along
to all our favorite country songs.

Back at the house when I was much younger
curled up in my footies scared to death from all the wind and the rain
and the thunder that rattled on them panes
Here comes daddy brought the radio into my room
set it up on the floor and in the glow of the tubes
there came a music sweet sweet music and a singing we would go

sometimes things felt deep inside are better left unsaid
daddy showed his love to me through melody instead

chorus

cut to 2005 in a hospital room my daddy barely alive
and unaware of the gloom beside a beautiful nurse
who says there's nothing she can do
well I know something
so I

chorus ( twice)

like ?Hello Darlin? ?Delta Dawn?
?Don't fence me in? and ?I'm Movin on?
?Oh Lonesome me? and ?Just Because
all our favorite country songs
