[Verse]
You’d talk about those dusty fields,
Where sun met sky and dreams concealed.
Your hands bore the scars so deep,
But your heart was gold, a secret I’d keep.
[Verse 2]
You never wore your hardships loud,
You stood tall, though you weren’t proud.
With calloused hands and a tender soul,
You taught me love, made me whole.
[Chorus]
Daddy's roads were tough and long,
But you always sang a hopeful song.
You did your best with what you knew,
My first friend was always you.
[Verse 3]
I saw the weight upon your brow,
As you tried to make it through somehow.
Silent strength in each stride,
But you always stayed right by my side.
[Verse 4]
Those nights of stories by the fire,
Dreams we spoke, lifting us higher.
You made life seem a little less hard,
With each word, you played your card.
[Chorus]
Daddy's roads were tough and long,
But you always sang a hopeful song.
You did your best with what you knew,
My first friend was always you.
