Lyrics
Sit Tight
My Daddy drove a truck to earn a living
I felt like such a lucky boy when I rode with him
But I got scared when I had to stay
Alone in his truck when he picked up his pay.
I'd feel better when he'd say:
Son, sit tight and wait for me
God will keep you company
Don't worry. You'll be all right.
Just hold on, and sit tight.
When I was seventeen, I had a truck of my own.
One night it left me stranded on a lonely road.
I found a phone, called my Daddy up late
I said I'm stuck out here on Rte 28.
Well, he didn't even hesitate. He said
Son, sit tight and wait for me
God will keep you company
Don't worry. You'll be all right.
Just hold on, and sit tight.
My Daddy died unexpectedly.
At his funeral, I got up to speak
My heart was heavy, my eyes were red
I took a deep breath and raised my head.
I looked up to heaven and I said.
Daddy, sit tight and wait for me
God will keep you company
Don't worry. You'll be all right.
Just hold on, and sit tight.
Just hold on, and sit tight.
