The day my Dad bought my first guitar was a day I won't forget
That old blue wooden six string, came with a tag and all its ends
He put me in lessons, dropped me off at every stand
I learned to play a few ol chords, so my Daddy'd understand
I used to play the guitar in the room down by the porch
Spent my days learnin' country songs
Waylon, Willie, Merle, and John
I used all life lessons and applied them to a tune
I learned to sing out loud and I hoped he heard me too
There's things in life you're teachin' me
I'd learn to understand
There's life and all that happens
A paper wallet and your hand
The one thing that I am sure of
It was all a perfect plan
You were my Daddy, my friend, and lovin' man
I hope to pass the message onto my daughter and her friends
Life ain't worth a dime if you ain't a lovin' man
You have to work for what you aim for, have a goal and plan
And I wouldn't have any of that without a Dad
There's things in life you're teachin' me
I'd learn to understand
There's life and all that happens
A paper wallet and your hand
The one thing that I am sure of
It was all a perfect plan
You were my Daddy, my friend, and lovin' man
There's things in life you're teachin' me
I'd learn to understand
There's life and all that happens
A paper wallet and your hand
The one thing that I am sure of
It was all a perfect plan
You were my Daddy, my friend, and lovin' man
Yes, The one thing that I'll be sure of is
My daughter will have a plan
Because I'm her Daddy, her friend, and lovin' man
