My daddy was a charmer, boys He had a lot of style He was the shining best at everything he did They said that he could lighten up The room with just a smile And i was proud as hell to be his kid Seems like just as we were Growin’ close together, he was gone But it was long enough to Show what i could be And i sometimes feel his spirit Fill my body like a song And this is what my daddy Sings to me: When they dealt me down ’n dirty In a way i’d not deserved I felt better when i took it like a man ‘cause if you let ‘em drive you crazy, girl They’ll shut your business down Shake if off and get your licks in when you can ‘cause the heart is all that matters in the end The heart is all that matters in the end Seems like every song is sweeter When your singin’ from the heart I won’t knock it ‘cause i’ve tried it and it’s true And i may never get to heaven But i’ve seen a lot of stars And i’m here to bring The same advice to you so: When they deal you down n’ dirty In a way you don’t deserve You’ll feel better if you take it like a man (or a woman) ‘cause if you let ‘em drive you crazy, boys They’ll shut your business down Shake if off and get your licks in when you can ‘cause the heart is all that matters in the end The heart is all that matters in the end
