| He was a muscle bound man with a bible in his hand
|
| He had a whole lotta dreams and a whole lotta plans
|
| Not a buncha money but a whole buncha love mm
|
| But when it came to faith he had more than enough
|
| Oh his name was
|
| (Eddie) talking bout a praying man he was
|
| (Eddie) tried to keep it strong when times got tough
|
| (Eddie) thank you for raising all of us
|
| (Eddie) but you just wasn’t here long enough
|
| If I could just talk to you one more time
|
| I would tell you I was listening all the time
|
| Even when I rolled my eyes hey
|
| Daddy I knew you was talking right
|
| I remember growing up as a little girl
|
| And watching you pray and watching you go to work
|
| Then you would come home and laugh and play with us
|
| You wasn’t too tough to love your girls
|
| And you taught us how to love God
|
| And you taught us how to be strong
|
| And even though you not here no more
|
| I still got you in my heart daddy
|
| And I’ll never forget what taught me
|
| I just wanna make you proud
|
| That’s all I wanna do
|
| I wanna be a soldier, just like my daddy
|
| You was the best daddy you was the best
|
| I thank God for you for the rest of my life |
