Daddy's Song

He was born to a hard-working man
Last of a baker's dozen
On a farm in the middle of the fall
In the middle of the world
At least that's how it seemed when he was small

Chorus;
And to him, love was just a thing the family lived on
Joy was just a thing they passed around
Most of the silver he'd ever seen was just the lining of a cloud
And the only blues he knew
Were the Indiana skies and his Daddy's eyes

His Mom and Dad raised him on faith and love
Those were the only things they always had enough of
And though the times weren't always good
They got along as best as they could
And it seems to me he came thru it all just fine

Chorus:

He grew up and married a good-hearted woman
And with her raised two children, bright and strong
And he taught me and my brother
All we ever need to get along
And he told me I'd do all right
If I'd just remember what was wrong

Chorus:
