Lyrics
Daddy's Eyes Written By: Jason Paulson
My daddy won my first guitar in a poker game
It wasn't much but it paved the way
He showed me three chords and the taste of beam
It's been 20 years running down this dream
Taught me when to sing and when to play
And when to drink the night away
I've seen this country with a four piece band
A pretty good view from where I stand
I've seen these lights and where they go
And the wrong end of a gun down in Mexico
He taught me when to fight and when to pray
And when to drink my fears away
Chorus
Oh cause I-----have my daddy's eyes
That I've spent all those years trying to hide
Even if I've done more wrong than right
I've found myself in my daddy's eyes
A lot of things he did just don't seem fair
But I make a living from the things we share
The good time life he taught me to live
He never meant to hurt even when he did
He taught me to love and run away
I taught myself to change my ways
Chorus
Oh cause I-----have my daddy's eyes
That I've spent all those years trying to hide
But now I see wrong from right
I've found myself in my daddy's eyes
