| A boy walks past a window of a glowin' open sign
|
| Full of wooden toys and trucks and painted trains
|
| Rings a bell up on the counter, hands a picture to the man
|
| Of a kid beside a soldier smiling away
|
| Said, «Sir, I’ve heard you can build anything»
|
| Could you build me a daddy?
|
| Strong as Superman
|
| Make him ten feet tall with a southern drawl
|
| And a crooked smile if you can
|
| 'Cause I sure miss him
|
| Maybe you could bring him back
|
| If I walked in with him, it’d sure make mama happy
|
| If you could build me a daddy
|
| There’s an old Winchester rifle, back home hangin' on the wall
|
| He promised me he’d teach me how to aim
|
| And he said when I got older, we could work on that curveball
|
| I know he’d never wanna miss a game
|
| So here’s a little money that I’ve saved
|
| Could you build me a daddy?
|
| Strong as Superman
|
| Make him ten feet tall with a southern drawl
|
| And a crooked smile if you can
|
| I sure miss him
|
| Maybe you could bring him back
|
| If I walked in with him, it’d sure make mama happy
|
| If you could build me a daddy
|
| Give him a big heart, make his arms wide open
|
| I know he misses me, so mister, I was hopin'
|
| You could build me a daddy
|
| Strong as Superman
|
| Make him ten feet tall with a southern drawl
|
| And a fishing pole in his hand
|
| 'Cause I sure miss him
|
| Maybe you could bring him back?
|
| If I walked in with him, it’d sure make my mama happy
|
| If you could you build me a daddy
|
| Could you build me a daddy? |
