[Verse 1] His car went off the highway straight into Crawley's Lake But ask anybody in this town, that man died ten years too late Drowned himself in a whiskey glass Took his family to hell and back Who could forgive a man like that? There's his youngest daughter standing in the pouring rain Placing a single rose on Daddy's grave
[Chorus] 'Cause she remembers him like John Wayne in a Cadillac She'll only see the best in him now looking back So she can finally have a father who's gentle, kind, and good She'll let his memory walk on water since he never could
[Verse 2] Sometimes in the morning 'fore he'd have that first drink He'd play like a cowboy, bounce her on his knee She remembers the way he'd laugh Marlboro cigarette hangin' from his mouth Standing by his headstone she's gonna close her eyes Let every other memory die
[Chorus] So she remembers him like John Wayne in a Cadillac She'll only see the best in him now looking back So she can finally have a father who's gentle, kind, and good She'll let his memory walk on water
[Outro] So she can be proud to be his daughter She'll let his memory walk on water Since he never couldTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
