When Daddy Was A Strong Man Lyrics - Lawrence Tracy

Old man Rad at the store would leave a note on the door 

it said ran to the house, be back in a few leave your money on the counter 

it was twenty six cents for the coke and some gum nothin never got stole 

you could trust everyone, even out of towners 

and football was played for the game and music was made for the song 

when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde 

i missed a bird with a rock with my new sling shot 

broke a window and i was the talk of the town and that was big trouble 

there was no point in runnin i tried to laugh was it worth it to see the shame in dads eye and watchin that belt get 

unbuckled no way 

most everyone played by the rules 

right was right or wrong was wrong 

when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde 

though its clear as day in my mind the picture of a simpler time wish change would jut leave well enough alone 

those days are gone now 

when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde 

now this boy on my shoulder tells all his friends that i can beat up their dads and his mamas the prettiest mama in the 

world and she is 

yeah i thought that to when i was his age dont remember how long id kept thinkin that way but one things for sure he'll be 

standing where i am one day 

but his mind will be somewhere that long 

when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde 

though its clear as day in my mind the picture of a simpler time wish change would jut leave well enough alone 

those days are gone now 

when daddy was a strong man and mama was a blonde 

yeah daddy was a strong man he was
