Daddy 歌词

My daddy is a rancher He's wrangled cattle dang near all his life He also liked to rodeo He traveled around with four kids and a wife Well his old ranch is rocky But his ropes sail smooth for several years He worked real hard And roped real good And tried to get his ranch out in the clear He didn't want us kids to rodeo He wanted more out of life for us Maybe banking, or a lawyer Or maybe even driving some old bus Well that's when we took up singing And his pride grew greater day by day And I know his eyes grew misty The night I sang up on the Opry stage Chorus: Now his ranch is so much bigger The the days when he first started The grass grows now where none used to be His roping got him started Cattle prices made it better And he's trying to get his ranch out in the clear Five years ago September, he bought more steers and hung up all his ropes But he often tells the stories about the rodeos he won and cowboy jokes Well it's funny that the first big roping that he won some thirty years ago Was the same day that I sang on the stage of the Grand Old Opry show Repeat Chorus Now he's feeding cattle Toting hay And branding the Y.O. And his hired hand's there to help him And she also cooks their meals when they get home They built their ranch together And listening to the kids sing through the years Well they worked real hard and roped real good and now they got their ranch out in the clear Because when a family works together They finally get their ranch out in the clear Out in the clear
