Build Me A Daddy

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 '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 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?
