[Intro]
Strummin' on this old guitar, thinkin' ’bout my dad's gentle heart
[Verse 1]
He was the anchor in our ship, every storm he'd make us brave
Had a smile that could light up the night, a voice that could heal our pain
Worked those Tennessee mines, dirt under his nails, love in his eyes
A man of quiet strength, a hero in disguise
[Pre-Chorus]
Sixty years with my mama, side by side and hand in hand
Built a life on love and faith, a legacy that stands
[Chorus]
Oh, thank you, daddy, for the love you gave,
For every single sacrifice, every lesson learned along the way
Though God's called you home, you're still here in our song,
In the crackle of the radio, in every breeze that blows strong
[Verse 2]
Loved old tractors and worn-out cars, teachin’ us to dream big
His stories by the fireside, made our spirits sing
Self-taught on that six-string, serenadin’ us at night
Your melody lives on, in everything we do right
[Bridge]
We miss you more than words can say, your wisdom shining bright
But we feel you in our hearts each day, your love a guiding light
[Chorus]
Oh, thank you, daddy, for the love you gave,
For every single sacrifice, every lesson learned along the way
Though God's called you home, you're still here in our song,
In the crackle of the radio, in every breeze that blows strong
[Outro]
So we raise our glasses high, to the man we hold so dear,
Your spirit in the stars, shining ever clear,
Thank you, daddy, for being our everything,
In our hearts forever, your song will sing.
