Daddy's my hero

Momma had her hands full

Tryna take care of all of us boys

my Daddy spent quite a few years

Way Before I was ever born

Over there fighting

In a war called Vietnam

But when my daddy came home

My daddy came home a hero

Not just to all of us

But to all of those

Who's life he was fighting for

Some may say it's a miracle

My daddies here today

A grenade had landed

On my daddies ship

My daddy jumped on top of it

Trying to save his captain

Somehow both of them lived

Some things you can't explain

But I thank God everyday

People think the war is over

Once all the troops come home

But that's far from the truth

The things my daddy had to do

Still haunts him to this day

Nightmares every time he sleeps

Flashbacks and PTSD

And that's just the begining

War changes everything

That's why we call em hero's

I'm so proud of my daddy

He's one of the brave

My daddies my hero

He always did what he had to do

To put food on the table

Cause God knows it ain't easy

To feed 5 kids and a wife

From rest stops to street fights

To bouncing bars on the side

Somehow my daddy

Always got us by

That's why my daddy

My daddies my hero
