This morning
I heard a knocking on my front door
Followed by words I wasn't ready for
That my old man was gone
It tore me
Chokin' up but I couldn't let it out
Wasn't sure how I should feel about
A man I barely know
But my daddy was a good man
So I have been told
Heard he spent some time with the country bands
Traveling on the road
He was a four string cowboy
I guess the apple didn't roll
Oh, I wish that I could tell you more
But I just don't know
Way back when
I think I was maybe 8 years old
He came around with a girl named Rose
Picked me up off the ground
I wondered
Are you my Daddy or some other Joe?
Either way maybe I don't know
But would you stick around
But my Daddy was a good man
So I have been told
Heard he spent some time with the country bands
Traveling on the road
He was a four string cowboy
I guess the apple didn't roll
Oh, I wish that I could tell you more
But I just don't know
