Lyrics
my daddy said on fathers day a year before he died
that he had lived a full life having kids made life worth wild
he said that your mothere was the best thing that he could have had
but not being whom he once was made his life sad
he said i'm ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'm tired of fighting for who I used to be I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do don't worry I'll still be here watching over you
we were sitting on the back porch about three years ago I came out and asked him are you ready to go he said yes I am you know what I believe I just wanted to make sure you were ready to leave
he said i'm ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'm tired of fighting for who I used to be I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do don't worry I'll still be here watching over you
I said you know I don't fear dying I i fear dying alone
I want to know you'll be there when its time for me to go
and that you'll be in heaven where life is so real where I can give you a hug and love I can feel
he said i'm ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'm tired of fighting for who I used to be I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do don't worry I'll still be here watching over you
i can't give you a hug but love I can feel
