Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dirt on the casket Flowers in a basket Momma's there crying Daddy's there lying Preacher's saying something about He' sin a better place now But I'm still here same last name standing around [Chorus] And this ain't my daddy's town no more Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore And I ain't saying' I'm the man he was But it's my turn to carry on what he loved But this ain't my daddy's town no more [Verse 2] Gonna have to scoot the seat up That old redford work truck Take my mom out on a date Make sure her bills aren't paid late Cut the turkey at Christmas Try not to tear up And be tough as nails, strong as oak Just like him I hope [Chorus] 'Cause this ain't my daddy's town no more Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore And I ain't saying I'm the man he was But it's my turn to carry on what he loved But this ain't my daddy's town no more [Instrumental] [Verse 3] When they carve my name up On that old marble piece of stone When my kids are standing in the rain I hope they'll wanna say [Chorus] That this ain't my daddy's town no more Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore And I ain't saying I'm the man he was But it's my turn to carry on what he loved But this ain't my daddy's town no more [Outro] Dirt on the casket Flowers in a basket Momma's there crying And daddy's there lying
