| Lyrics: | Daddy was a coalminer.
He worked the pits all day.
In Rock Springs, Wyoming.
It was
meant to be a stop for a day, became his home nothing
more I can say.
Daddy was a part
time farmer.
He worked the field all day.
But he'd rather have new shoes for them
horses.
But late one day, them horses run away.
Shouldn't have put the shoes on that
way.
Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he took it all.
So me and mom took the high
road.
But it's not like we had a choice at all.
Daddy was a guitar player.
He'd
play that joint all night.
Out back i the shack the six-string was his demon.
Maybe one day
I could run away, join my dad in a band to play.
Now it's just me and mom here.
We sit
alone all night.
But if you listen close you can hear my daddy playing.
It was meant to be a
stop for a day, left us here, now he's on his way.
Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he
took it all.
So me and mom, we took the high road.
But it's not like we had a choice at
all.
Just to bad for daddy.
It's such a shame he took it all.
So me and mom took
the high road.
But it's not like we had a choice at all. |
