[Verse 1] My shoes by the door Still kick the same way I wait for your truck Like you’re coming today You were the big oak I was your small hand You made me feel safe In a hard, hard land [Pre-Chorus] You said family stays When the rain cuts in You said love holds on Even when it’s thin Now i trace your name On the edge of my bed Trying to hear your voice In the words you said [Chorus] Daddy, come back My hero, my man You were the strongest I ever could stand Daddy, come back I’m still your girl You taught me love Can hold up a world (hold up a world) [Verse 2] You carried your pain Like a stone in your chest Still laughed at my jokes And you gave me your best Your soul had some cracks But your arms built a home You showed me that broken Don’t mean being alone [Pre-Chorus] You said family stays When the night comes down You said trust those hands That will hold you now I learned your words Like a prayer in the dark Keeping your love Safe inside my heart [Chorus] Daddy, come back My hero, my man You were the strongest I ever could stand Daddy, come back I’m still your girl You taught me love Can hold up a world (hold up a world) [Bridge] Now I help my brother And share what I got I keeps every promise You taught me to rock When I feel the ache I stand a little tall With your broken-soul love I won’t let it fall [Final Chorus] Daddy, come back My hero, my man You were the strongest I ever could stand Daddy, come back I’m still your girl You taught me love Can hold up a world Daddy, come back I’ll carry your light Family and love Will guide me tonight (guide me tonight)
