Ain’t My Daddy’s Town

[Verse 1]
Dirt on the casket
Flowers in a basket
Momma's there crying
Daddy's there lying
Preacher's saying something about
He' sin a better place now
But I'm still here same last name standing around

[Chorus]
And this ain't my daddy's town no more
Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore
And I ain't saying' I'm the man he was
But it's my turn to carry on what he loved
But this ain't my daddy's town no more

[Verse 2]
Gonna have to scoot the seat up
That old redford work truck
Take my mom out on a date
Make sure her bills aren't paid late
Cut the turkey at Christmas
Try not to tear up
And be tough as nails, strong as oak
Just like him I hope

[Chorus]
'Cause this ain't my daddy's town no more
Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore
And I ain't saying I'm the man he was
But it's my turn to carry on what he loved
But this ain't my daddy's town no more

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
When they carve my name up
On that old marble piece of stone
When my kids are standing in the rain
I hope they'll wanna say

[Chorus]
That this ain't my daddy's town no more
Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore
And I ain't saying I'm the man he was
But it's my turn to carry on what he loved
But this ain't my daddy's town no more

[Outro]
Dirt on the casket
Flowers in a basket
Momma's there crying
And daddy's there lying
