With You Daddy

I asked my dad how did he quit smoking
 He said, "Son one day I saw you tokin" on a
 Half smoked cigarette, he left laying by his tools
 He said I couldn't have been more than nine or ten
 When I looked at him with a cat eating grin, and said
 "Look at me daddy, I'm the Marlboro man, just like you."
 I did my best to step in every footprint daddy made
 I'd stretch my legs as far as they'd go
 Chase after him and say
 With you daddy, take me with you daddy
 Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
 Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
 Don't you know that's right where I belong
 Six weeks shy of twenty-one
 Daddy called and said I got some bad news son
 Doctor says I ain't got very long and
 I ain't told your mama yet
 I said, "Daddy I'll be on the next flight home"
 That ain't the kind of news you ought to break alone
 I didn't break down 'til I hung up the phone
 Damn them cigarettes
 He put his big old arms around me
 the moment I stepped off the plane
 He said, "Son you didn't have to come"
 All that I could say
 With you daddy, take me with you daddy
 Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
 Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
 Don't you know that's right where I belong
 Daddy wasn't conscious the last three days of his life
 But I stayed there right beside his bed
 And I cried like a baby, but I knew he'd be alright
 When he smiled and whispered, "Oh my God"
 Reached out his hand and said
 With you daddy, take me with you daddy
 Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
 Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
 Don't you know that's right where I belong
