There are millions of men writing songs the world will never hear 
Down in their basements surrounded by music gear 
Oh my daddy, he was one of those guys 
He used to stay up late practicing licks till there were stars in the sky 
Oh but no one ever got to hear one of his tunes
Except for me, my brother, and my ma, in the livin' room 

And that's why the world should hear this one
Because my daddy he wrote this song 
I used to hear him playing it down in the basement, when I was out on the lawn 
He used to show me a couple chords 
He would smile when I could sing the words 
As we were sitting up in the front seat of that truck, with the tape deck on
Yeah my daddy, he wrote this song 

I remember the day my daddy brought home my first guitar 
When he strapped it around my neck it hung down way too far 
Oh I felt so proud, and he looked the same 
And then he said "Son, forget about playing covers. Let the world know your name!" 

And that's why the world should hear this one
Because my daddy he wrote this song 
I used to hear him playing it down in the basement, when I was out on the lawn 
He used to show me a couple chords 
He would smile when I could sing the words 
As we were sitting up in the front seat of that truck, with the tape deck on
Yeah my daddy, he wrote this song 

And If I could see him one more time this is what I'd say 
(This is what I'd say)
As we sat down on the basement sofa at the end of a heavenly day 

Well daddy you remember that old song? 
Now they all know that you wrote that one
I even sang it in a stadium once, for 10,000 and one
They all smiled when I played the chords
They all cried when I sang the words 
Oh it brought them all right down to our basement
And out on our lawn 
Now they know you wrote this one 
Yeah my daddy, he wrote this song
