c.j. garton – if daddy could see lyrics

if daddy could see lyrics
[verse 1]
from a small town, i came from nothin’
with these two hands, i’ve sure built somethin’
if daddy could see, he’d be proud of me
“a little hard work never hurt no one”
is what he’d say when we were growin’ up
we were dirt floor poor, but we never went hungry

[verse 2]
i’d spend my days bailin’ hay
and sackin’ groceries at the iga
scr+pin’ to save every penny i had made
i finally saved enough for my first ford
it was an ’84 stepside two+door
then i took off chasin’ my dreams

[chorus]
i’m just a boy from ol’ creek county
i grew up with these woods around me
i’m a wide+eyed southern child, i’m an okie
folks would always say i’d never ‘mount to nothin’
with daddy’s belt and mama’s lovin’
they made one h+ll of a man out of me
oh, if daddy could see, he’d sure be proud of me

[verse 3]
mama always was the gentle one
off to bed when dinner was done
she’d tuck me in and kiss me on my cheek
daddy’s love was a little more stern
nothin’ was given, everything was earned
kind most of the time except when he would drink
[verse 4]
he taught me how to hunt, be a god+fearin’ man
he’d take us fishin’ every now and then
those are some of my favorite memories
he never made college, he had a degree
in hard work and elbow grease
everything he learned, he handed on down to me

[chorus]
i’m just a boy from cherokee county
i grew up with these woods around me
i’m a wide+eyed southern child, i’m an okie
folks would always say i’d never ‘mount to nothin’
with daddy’s belt and mama’s lovin’
they made one h+ll of a man out of me
oh, if daddy could see, he’d sure be proud of me

[outro]
i got a little place of my own
not too far from daddy’s stone
among the honeysuckle and the white oak trees
now we got ourselves a boy on the way
i think we’re gonna give your name
if daddy can see, he’d sure be proud of me
