Daddy Did His Best

I remember when my daddy worked all day for just a dollar
 And he never saved a penny, but at least the bills were paid
 I've never seen a man work half as hard
 And come home half as tired
 Then give the Lord a tenth of all he made
 Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
 And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
 And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
 Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
 Now I've never seen a man that had more reason for complaining
 But he'd smiled at me explaining how he never walked alone
 When they called me to his death bed
 I remember how my daddy just looked up
 And smiled and said I'm going home
 Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
 And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
 And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
 Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord

 Since my daddy left this world for one much better
 I've been watching people worrying more
 Working for the things they can't afford
 In a world that's filled with problems
 No one's ever found the answers
 To the things my daddy left up to the Lord
 Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
 And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
 And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
 Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
