That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine

(With Tommy Cash)

In a vine covered shack
In the mountains
Bravely fighting
The battle of time
There's a dear one who's weathered
Life's sorrows
It's that silver haired
Daddy of mine

If I could recall all the heartaches
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase
Those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your hair

If God would but grant me the power
Just to turn back the pages of time
I would give all I own
If I could but atone
To that silver haired daddy of mine

If I could recall all the heartaches
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase
Those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your hair

If God would but grant me the power
Just to turn back the pages of time
I would give all I own
If I could but atone
To that silver haired daddy of mine
