Lyrics

Verse 1
I think about my daddy way back when
Kept his feelings to himself, like so many men
But now that he is older I think it's time to tell
Daddy's little secret that I kept so well

Verse 2
He'd go out to the opera house with mom
What she didn't know is he just played along
It wasn't where his heart was, it left my daddy cold
Now as for daddy's little secret, it's time that it was told:

Chorus
Daddy loves country music on the radio!
Daddy would listen when no one else was home
He'd go down to the basement and take out all his tools
and cry his heart out singing like a broken hearted fool
Daddy loves country music on the radio

Verse 3
Now I bet my daddy wished he could confess
Sure, he wore a tie, but he hated to impress
His collar wasn't blue and he had no pickup truck
But dad sure loved to sing along to songs about hard luck

Chorus 2

Bridge
He worked late every night
Daddy paid his dues
Had little time for his own life
But that music got him through

Chorus 3
Daddy loves country music on the radio
