Daddy (I Need You Tonight)

Daddy was a country singer

And he wrote the songs that everybody played back in his day

Daddy's gone but the songs still linger

In the memory of the ones who can recall the way he played

But I don't want to make no living off the ones my daddy had

Hey just because the old is good don't mean the new is bad

And I don't sing the way my daddy did but you know I do alright

And I don't say it like my daddy did but I need you tonight

All my life I've been on stages you won't believe some of the places

That I've played in my days

I guess I've earned a lot of wages but not enough to match the dues

That I've paid in my days

And it's nice to find some people like you as I go from town to town

Cause as long as ya all are with me you know I'll always be around

No I don't sing it like my daddy did hey you know I do alright

And I don't say it like my daddy did but I need you tonight

I don't sing it like my daddy did but you know I still do alright

And I don't say it like my daddy did but I still need you tonight
