Thank You, Dad

Strummin' on this old guitar, thinkin' ’bout my dad's gentle heart

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

Sixty years with my mama, side by side and hand in hand

Built a life on love and faith, a legacy that stands

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

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

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

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

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.
