Hey pops, I ain’t been around I know, I was just down at mama’s house And she told me I should swing on by see ya ‘fore I roll outta here
Yeah I, I think I met the one But I, I don’t wanna jump the gun We been out a few times and it feels like I’ve known her for years
She’s from a small town just like you She’s got a smile that could light up the room She’s pretty as a hallelujah But don’t let it fool ya ‘Cause she’ll dance when she drinks And she’ll say what she thinks She makes me a better man like you did I miss you and wish you could just meet each other ‘Cause I bet you would’ve loved her
Hey pops, that girl I told ya ’bout Yeah we, we’ve been married a couple months now And we saved you a spot next to mama on that front church pew
Yeah, I bet you would’ve loved our wedding band I bet you would’ve slid in and stole a dance I bet you would’ve cried I bet you would’ve laughed I bet you would’ve loved it when she called you dad
She’s from a small town just like you She’s got a smile that could light up the room She’s pretty as a hallelujah But don’t let it fool ya ‘Cause she’ll dance when she drinks And she’ll say what she thinks She makes me a better man like you did I miss you and wish you could just meet each other ‘Cause I bet you would’ve loved her
Hey pops, you know I hate to cry But I, I just let ’em rain that night That I held your grandbaby in my hands for the very first time
‘Cause she’s got brown eyes just like you Her mama’s glow that could light up the room She’s pretty as a hallelujah And that smile that’ll do something to ya She’ll dance when I sing And she’s my everything She makes me a better man like you did I miss you and wish you could just meet each other ‘Cause I know you would’ve loved her Oh yeah Dad, I know you would’ve loved her
