Happy Birthday Daddy

Intro

(da da da, yeah yeah)

Verse

Far across the state lines, you’re out there on your own

With a brush in your hand and the garden all grown

Rifle on the rack and a line in the lake

Green thumb turning dirt into something you make

Pre-chorus

You wore that uniform, served with pride

Came back home and still stood tall inside

Chorus

Happy birthday, Daddy, I’m singing it loud

Even with the miles between us right now

Wish I could wrap my arms around you tight

Give you that hug on your special night

You made me better, pushed me through the rain

Wouldn’t be me without your name

Happy birthday, Daddy, oh-oh-oh

Happy birthday, Daddy, yeah-yeah-yeah

Verse

You taught me to stand when the world got rough

Showed me the meaning of doing enough

Paint on the canvas, fish on the string

Lessons you gave me still make my heart sing

Chorus

Happy birthday, Daddy, I’m singing it loud

Even with the miles between us right now

Wish I could wrap my arms around you tight

Give you that hug on your special night

You made me better, pushed me through the rain

Wouldn’t be me without your name

Happy birthday, Daddy, oh-oh-oh

Happy birthday, Daddy, yeah-yeah-yeah

Bridge

Veteran heart, father strong

I’m grateful every day you carried me along

Chorus

Happy birthday, Daddy, I’m singing it loud

Even with the miles between us right now

Wish I could wrap my arms around you tight

Give you that hug on your special night

You made me better, pushed me through the rain

Wouldn’t be me without your name

Happy birthday, Daddy, oh-oh-oh

Happy birthday, Daddy, yeah-yeah-yeah

(da da da… happy birthday)
