Hope you like old guitars as much as I do Hope you find the wisdom in your old man’s roots Hope you grow to know when love is real And shiny things and money, ain’t no big deal
And I hope you have a little talk with Jesus Anytime you think the world don’t treat you fair Hope you know when you need me, I’m always there And that you’re an answer to a father’s prayer
I kinda hope my old truck is your first car Hope that when you spread your wings you don’t fly too far I pray, yeah, I pray you get your patience from your mama And I hope that voice inside you tells you right from wrong
And I hope you have a little talk with Jesus Anytime you think the world don’t treat you fair Hope you know when you need me, I’m always there And that you’re an answer to a father’s prayer
It seems not that long ago I was countin’ fingers and countin’ toes But I sure love to watch you grow up Man, it goes so fast
Hope you know when you need, I’m always there I pray God is listenin’ to this father’s prayer
