He's My Dad

Daddy was a hard working kind of man
He worked in a cotton mill calluses on his hands
He made sure we had food on the table
And sometimes working when he wasn't able-

Daddy loved to run his rabbit dogs twice a week
He didn't mind sacrificing a little useful sleep
He'd stay out in the woods with the dogs all day
Trying to get him up for the night shift wasn't easy I'd say-

He's my dad, he's my dad
My needs he did see
He's my dad, he's my dad
In Heaven watching me-

Daddy loved taking us to church on Sundays
And had us up and ready for school on Mondays
He loved the Lord and believed in the Promise Land
And couldn't wait to walk with Him hand in hand-

When I think of my dear ole' dad today
Happy times come and then they fade away
But I know he is in a better place
And I thank the Lord for His saving grace-

He's my dad, he's my dad
My needs he did see
He's my dad, he's my dad
In Heaven watching me-
