Lyrics

Intro

Yeah, yeah... Terry

Verse

He came back from Vietnam with a steady hand

Married mama young, said he'd love her till the end

Almost fifty years of holding on real tight

Through the good and the bad, she was his whole life

Chorus

Terry fixed anything that broke

Broken toys and broken hearts, he made 'em whole

Built a playhouse from scraps on a Saturday

Helped with science fairs till the lights went gray

He'd call mama every night from the road

Just to say "I love you" and keep that light on

My daddy Terry, the best dad around

He'd fix it all, never let us down

Verse

Power company man, gone for days at a time

Keeping strangers' lights on while we missed him at night

We'd wait by the phone for that call to come through

He'd say "I'm coming home soon, kids, I love you too"

If we had a dream he'd hammer it into shape

A swing set, a fort, whatever we could make

Chorus

Terry fixed anything that broke

Broken toys and broken hearts, he made 'em whole

Built a playhouse from scraps on a Saturday

Helped with science fairs till the lights went gray

He'd call mama every night from the road

Just to say "I love you" and keep that light on

My daddy Terry, the best dad around

He'd fix it all, never let us down

Bridge

When mama passed he still showed up strong

Fixed what he could, even when the world felt wrong

Always there with a wrench and a smile so wide

The man who made sure we never cried

Chorus

Terry fixed anything that broke

Broken toys and broken hearts, he made 'em whole

Built a playhouse from scraps on a Saturday

Helped with science fairs till the lights went gray

He'd call mama every night from the road

Just to say "I love you" and keep that light on

My daddy Terry, the best dad around

He'd fix it all, never let us down

Outro

Yeah, Terry... my dad

Fixed it all... every time
