My dear hard workin' daddy
Works his life away for us.
That's the way that daddy shows to us his love.
And Daddy's two hard working hands
They're callous and they're sore.
And Daddy's workin' boots
Have walked a million miles or more.
As long as I remember
I remember Daddy workin'
Workin' on the job or either on the farm
Tryin' to provide for the family that he loves.
And Daddy's working boots
Have taken many steps for us.
Daddy's workin' boots
Have served as his foundation.
Though just like him
They're tired and worn.
For years
They've helped him stand.
Daddy's working boots
Have filled their obligation.
They've walked that rocky road
With a mighty, mighty man.
Dear lord above, I know
Up there my Daddy's got a mansion
And a great reward that's long been overdue.
And when it comes my Daddy's time
To be with you in heaven
Won't cha let him walk
Your golden streets
In a pair of brand new golden boots.
Daddy's workin' boots
Have served as his foundation.
Though just like him
They're tired and worn.
For years
They've helped him stand.
Daddy's working boots
Have filled their obligation.
They've walked that rocky road
With a mighty, mighty man.
