Daddy's Working Boots

(album: My Tennessee Mountain Home - 1973)

My dear hard working daddy works his life away for us
That's the way that daddy shows to us his love
And Daddy's two hard working hands
They're callous and they're sore
And Daddy's working boots have walked a million miles or more
As long as I remember, I remember Daddy working
Working on the job or either on the farm
Trying to provide for the family that he loves
And Daddy's working boots have taken many steps for us

[Chorus:]
Daddy's working boots have served as his foundation
Though just like him, they're tired and worn
For years they've helped him stand
Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation
They've walked that rocky road with a mighty, mighty man

Dear lord above, I know up there my Daddy's got a mansion
And a great reward that's long been overdue
And when it comes my Daddy's time to be with you in heaven

[Spoken:]
Won't cha let him walk your golden streets
In a pair of brand new golden boots

[Chorus]

Daddy's working boots
