Daddys Pride

(альбом: Allowed To Be Loud - 2011)

Sitting back I scratched my head
Thinking about the life I lead
Remembering what my mama told me
And all them things my daddy said
At five or six it was in one ear and out the other
Now I'm grown into a man
Something son an older brother
It's just a story of a Florida cracker farmboy
Redneck nation's how I live
10-4 making noise
I sit and ponder every day
Do I hang it up put it on the shelf
Sit back mad
Point a finger at my own self
Really man I just really don't know what to do
Maybe call up dad
Talk it over take a few steps in his shoes
My redneck ways of life
Yeah, they troubled me at times
Smoked a little maryjane
And I drank a ton of moonshine
Every now and then
I find myself off the beaten path
Looking in my rearview
I control my own wrath
I drank by myself on many lonely midnight rides
But what you'll never take for me hot is my daddy's pride

Well, it made me who I am today
Country pride I'm proud to say
Every step I take today
I think I might just stop and pray
And thank the Lord for my daddy mama sister my girl
Without my daddy's pride struggle in this crazy world
Simple living now no worries not a hiccup
Just give me my girls some cold beer and a spit cup
Taking long walks with a six pack in my hand
Reflection in the lake I hardly recognize this man
I'm going to find myself again though
Strolling down this muddy road
I'm bringing back the man all my friends and family used to know
I'm on the search and I ain't looking for no Foolsgold
I won't lie I have no clue of what the freaking future holds
Whiskey Bent and Hell bound
Yet to tough place to be found
I found The door to my life but man I lost the keys
Feelings pass and I'm going to keep my sights high
Live a life with no regrets surface through my daddy's pride

My daddy told me when I was just a kid
Said boy you can be anything just never forget
Where it is you come from and who was there by your side
One thing you'll always have is your daddy's pride
