Lyrics

Let?s Go See Daddy

V1
In my best white shirt and tie
Brylcreem in my hair
Out the door holdin mamas hand
The smell of ?White Rain? in the air

We?d drive an hour to see him
Down highway fifty nine
Out past the Old Valley Graveyard
And through the dark pines

PC1
A Mountain of a man in bib overalls
Smiling through the grease when he saw me
I knew my hero would be waiting for me
When I heard mama say let?s see daddy
CH
Let?s go see daddy
V2
One night we got a call from a waitress
At ?The Silent Woman Saloon?
Daddy had done too much drinkin?
And mama better get there soon

Red lights were flashing
By the time she walked in the door
Daddy hit a man who didn?t wake up
And that man was still lying on the floor
PC2
A Mountain of a man in a tiny gray cell
Smilin? through the bars when he saw me
I knew my hero would be waiting for me
When I heard mama say let?s see daddy

V3
In my best white shirt and tie
Brylcreem in my hair
Out the door holdin mamas hand
The smell of ?White Rain? in the air

We drove an hour to see him
Down highway fifty nine
Out to the Old Valley Graveyard
And into the dark pines



PC3
A Mountain of a man six feet under the ground
His headstone under a tree
I knew my hero would be waiting for me
When I heard mama say let?s see daddy
