Build Me A Daddy

A boy walks past a window of a glowin' open sign

Full of wooden toys and trucks and painted trains

Rings a bell up on the counter, hands a picture to the man

Of a kid beside a soldier smiling away

Said, "Sir, I've heard you can build anything"

Could you build me a daddy?

Strong as Superman

Make him ten feet tall with a Southern drawl

And a crooked smile, if you can

'Cause I sure miss him

Maybe you could bring him back?

If I walked in with him, it'd sure make mama happy

If you could build me a daddy

There's an old Winchester rifle

Back home hangin' on the wall

He promised me he'd teach me how to aim

And he said when I got older

We could work on that curveball

I know he'd never wanna miss a game

So here's a little money that I've saved

Could you build me a daddy?

Strong as Superman

Make him ten feet tall with a Southern drawl

And a crooked smile, if you can

I sure miss him

Maybe you could bring him back?

If I walked in with him, it'd sure make mama happy

If you could build me a daddy

Give him a big heart, make his arms wide open

I know he misses me, so Mister, I was hopin'

You could build me a daddy

Strong as Superman

Make him ten feet tall with a Southern drawl

And a fishing pole in his hand

'Cause I sure miss him

Maybe you could bring him back?

If I walked in with him, it'd sure make my mama happy

If you could you build me a daddy

Could you build me a daddy?
