He was born in South Carolina The son of a war weathered love He tried to fit in with the good ol’ boys But he was hooked on that Rock’n Roll
Left home in a hurry Got an appetite for the road Gigged his way up to Kentucky Another hippy with some songs
Daddy was a guitar man lookin’ for someone to sing along
She was born in Appalachia Middle child in a coal miner’s home She lived by the good book Tried to keep out of the ruts in the country roads She could sing like an angel And everybody knew that was why She left the hills of Kentucky For the big city lights
Yes, Momma was a singin’ girl looking for someone to play along
Their love caught flame in an instant Like a well-kindled fire He loved her quiet laugh She loved his soul-man smile They were married in six weeks A country church and doubtful eyes
Oh, it was brand new song and everyone just sang along
They sang their song in the hotel bars Worked for tips in the clubs Saved up enough for a tour van Just him and her and the show
But then, with a child on the way Some things they had to let go He cut his long hair Sold some gear for a suit and tie She just hummed the song to herself Workin’ the 9 to 5
Yes, just a bridge in an old song, everything will be just fine
Forty years, life just slipped on by Now the kids have grown And the well seems to’ve run dry He just wants to sing one more song But she says goodbye
Every page in the story Was searched for reasons why But in the end it was the quiet hiss Of their dreams never realized
Cause you see, Daddy was just a guitar man And Momma was just a singing girl And they we just lookin’ for someone to sing along
Yes, they’re still lookin’ for someone to sing along Yes, they’re still lookin’ for someone to sing along
