The day my Dad bought my first guitar was a day I won't forget That old blue wooden six string, came with a tag and all its ends He put me in lessons, dropped me off at every stand I learned to play a few ol chords, so my Daddy'd understand I used to play the guitar in the room down by the porch Spent my days learnin' country songs Waylon, Willie, Merle, and John I used all life lessons and applied them to a tune I learned to sing out loud and I hoped he heard me too There's things in life you're teachin' me I'd learn to understand There's life and all that happens A paper wallet and your hand The one thing that I am sure of It was all a perfect plan You were my Daddy, my friend, and lovin' man I hope to pass the message onto my daughter and her friends Life ain't worth a dime if you ain't a lovin' man You have to work for what you aim for, have a goal and plan And I wouldn't have any of that without a Dad There's things in life you're teachin' me I'd learn to understand There's life and all that happens A paper wallet and your hand The one thing that I am sure of It was all a perfect plan You were my Daddy, my friend, and lovin' man There's things in life you're teachin' me I'd learn to understand There's life and all that happens A paper wallet and your hand The one thing that I am sure of It was all a perfect plan You were my Daddy, my friend, and lovin' man Yes, The one thing that I'll be sure of is My daughter will have a plan Because I'm her Daddy, her friend, and lovin' man
