Lyrics

I have many fond mem'ries of my daddy
One of the things I remember most was dad's hard work and his workin' boots
My poor hard workin' daddy worked his life away for us
That's the way my daddy showed to us his love
And daddy's two hard workin' hands were calloused and were sore
Daddy's workin' boots have walked a million miles or more
As long as I remember I remember daddy workin'
Workin' on the job or either on the farm
Trying to provide for the family that he loved
Daddy's workin' boots have taken many steps for us
Daddy's workin' boots they served us his foundation
Just like him they're tired and worn for years they helped him stand
Daddy's workin' boots have filled their obligation
They walked that rocky road with a mighty mighty man
[ guitar ]
Dear lord above I know up there my daddy's got a mansion
And a great reward that long was overdue
And since my daddy's gone away to be with you in heaven
I know he's walkin' your golden streets in a pair of brand new golden boots
Daddy's workin' boots..
My daddy's workin' boots
