Daddy (I Need You Tonight)

Daddy was a country singer

And he wrote the songs everybody played back in his day

Daddy's gone but the songs still linger

In the memory of the ones who can recall the way he played

But I don't want to make a living, not the one my daddy had

Hey, just because the old is good don't mean the new is bad



And I don't sing the way my daddy did

But you know I do alright

And I don't say it like my daddy did

But I need you tonight



All my life I've been on stages

You won't believe some of the places

That I've played in my day

I guess I've earned a lot of wages

But not enough to match the dues that I've paid in my day

And it's nice to find some people like you as I go from town to town

'Cause as long as y'all are with me you know I'll be around



No I don't sing the way my daddy did

Hey you know I do alright

And I don't say it like my daddy did

But I need you tonight



And I don't sing the way my daddy did

But you know I do alright

And I don't say it like my daddy did

But I need you tonight
