As a boy he grew up An inner city child of Detroit His fathers drinking drove him to sea Where a naval engineer is what he'd be He moved around 'bout fifty one He bought a little cabin on a lake and he married my mom And he worked the shipyards of the Puget Sound Near Belfair, Washington where they settled down Where he taught me how to fish And how to shoot a gun How to hold my head up high How to fight and never run My daddy knew more than I'll ever forget Yeah the longer I live the smarter my daddy gets He named his boat "The African Queen" From a "Bogart" movie my daddy said he had seen And his 'ol piano where I'd watch him play Those boogie woogie bar room songs of yesterday Well he taught me how to laugh How to fix things when they broke How to change an 'ol flat tire And be kind to other folks My daddy knew more than I'll ever forget Now the longer I live the smarter my daddy gets Any mistakes he made look trivial through time Don't know how you'll remember yours That's how I remember mine 'Cause he taught me how to laugh How to fix things when they broke How to change an 'ol flat tire And be kind to other folks My daddy knew more than I'll ever forget Now the longer I live the smarter my daddy gets Yeah the longer I live the smarter my daddy gets
