(Verse 1)

Mama won’t say, Daddy just grins,

Guess I’ll have to ask him when I see him again.

Big hat, blue jeans, mustache and all,

Could he be the one who made me this tall?

(Chorus)

Hey there, Daddy, where’ve you been?

I got your songs runnin’ deep in my head.

If it ain’t true, just laugh and walk away,

But if it is, well… what do you say?

(Verse 2)

I got a voice that rolls like a southern breeze,

A wanderin’ heart and a need to be free.

Ain’t sayin’ it’s true, but the signs sure show,

Guess I’ll find out when I meet him, toe to toe.

(Chorus)

Hey there, Daddy, where’ve you been?

I got your songs runnin’ deep in my head.

If it ain’t true, just laugh and walk away,

But if it is, well… what do you say?

(Bridge)

I’ll shake his hand and look in his eyes,

See if there’s a spark or just a surprise.

If he tips his hat and says, “Son, not today,”

Well, I’ll just smile and walk my own way.

(Chorus - Repeat)

Hey there, Daddy, where’ve you been?

I got your songs runnin’ deep in my head.

If it ain’t true, just laugh and walk away,

But if it is, well… what do you say?

(Outro)

Maybe it’s fate, maybe just a dream,

But I’ll ride on, either way it seems.

If I ain’t his boy, well, that’s still okay,

A cowboy’s gotta ride his own damn way.
