Sit Here for a While

Well, Daddy was born the first

Out of five kids

Had a loving family

Their dreams were just as big

He excelled in high school

He really towed the line

Then he moved on to college

Along the Missouri border line

Well, Daddy won't you sit here for a while

And tell me all your stories from experiences in life

Well, tell me 'bout the good ol' days

How you made it to where you are

Tell me 'bout how you made it through

When it started to get hard

Daddy, won't you sit here for a while

Well, Daddy moved on to the Navy

He was willing to walk the line

He went to fight for our country

To save your freedom and mine

He went to the Middle East

Through the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea

He went out there to fight

For our lives in the land of the free

When Daddy came home

He met his future wife

And settled down and found a place

To live his life

So Daddy won't you sit here for a while

And tell me all your stories from experiences in life

Tell me 'bout the good ol' days

How you made it to where you are

Tell me 'bout how you made it through

When it started to get hard

Daddy, won't you sit here for a while

Daddy you're my hero

You know I love you so much

Tell me all that you've been through

With life and faith and such

And you're not just my hero

You're this country's fighting troop

The U.S.A wouldn't be free

Without people like you

So Daddy won't you sit here for a while

And tell me all your stories from experiences in life

Well, tell me 'bout the good ol' days

How you made it to where you are

Tell me 'bout how you made it through

When it started to get hard

Daddy, won't you sit here for a while

Daddy, won't you sit here for a while
