Build Me a Daddy

A boy walks past a window of a glowing, 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 10 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 Momma happy, if you could build me a daddy

There's an old Winchester rifle, back home hanging 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 10 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 Momma 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 hoping

You could build me a daddy

Strong as Superman

Make him 10 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 momma happy, if you could you build me a daddy

Could you build me a daddy?
