Annie Vander - THE DADDY TREE Lyrics




I guess I never understood
What my old man was saying
When he was tryin' to raise me good
At that time I just couldn't see
All those little things he did
He did 'em just for me
And time rolled on
And time rolled on

Yeah I got spanked a time or two
But lookin' back on who I was
I deserved more than a few
I took things a little bit too far
Always seemed to get my hand caught up
In that cookie jar
And time rolled on
And time rolled on

Sometimes I thought he was
The meanest man in town
And it took so many painful years
For his little girl to come around
I'm surprised I even learned from him
When I knew everything
And I hope I have his patience
When mine turn seventeen
Raising me must have been so hard
But please don't worry Daddy
I've learned your lessons from the heart

I knew ya loved me and all
But you were way to protective
When any boy would call
You'd grab a gun without a care
But did you have to chase him
Down the street in your underwear
And time rolled on
And time rolled on

I heard you pray and I just smiled
While I's puttin' on that white dress
Before you walked me down the aisle
You tapped your glass and we all cheered
And our dance at the reception
It all became so clear
That time rolls on
Yeah time rolls on

Sometimes I thought he was
The meanest man in town
And it took so many painful years
For his little girl to come around
I'm surprised I even learned from him
When I knew everything
And I hope I have his patience
When mine turn seventeen
Raising me must have been so hard
But please don't worry Daddy
I've learned your lessons from the heart

And I thank the dear Lord for giving you to me
Cause I couldn't have picked a better man
From the Daddy Tree
