Lyrics
Verse 1
Papa used to call me little hammer head
Just a nickname a term of endearment
He never skipped my birthday
I miss the corny jokes he'd say
Hugs and kisses on my face
He'd watch NASCAR on Sunday
Chorus
Papa was a good man
The best of the best
He served his country
As one of them leathernecks
He worked all his life
Loved his kids, grandkids and his wife
I think that he and Jesus must have been close friends
Papa was a good man
The best of the best
Verse 2
Papa had to have his McDonald's coffee
Behind the scenes he'd pray for everybody
He taught me all his old tricks
Gave away his secrets
There's the house on Sunset
Good memories came with it
Chorus
Papa was a good man
The best of the best
He served his country
As one of them leathernecks
He worked all his life
Loved his kids, grandkids and his wife
I think that he and Jesus must have been close friends
Papa was a good man
The best of the best
Bridge
Never one to second guess
he was a man blessed
Faith, family, and country
He had his priorities
Chorus
Papa was a good man
The best of the best
He served his country
As one of them leathernecks
He worked all his life
Loved his kids, grandkids and his wife
I think that he and Jesus must have been close friends
Papa was a good man
Yeah, Papa was a good man
The best of the best
