[Intro – Spoken / sung with energy] Hey! Let it roll now—come on! Clap your hands, here we go! [Verse 1] Born where the bayou meets the sky, Front porch breeze and a lullaby, Country boy, quiet and strong, Didn’t say much, but he was never wrong. Traded boots for a uniform, Flew through wind, flew through storm, But every road he ever ran Led back home to his family land. [Pre-Chorus] Numbers lined up in his mind, Sharp and steady every time, Didn’t talk big, didn’t need the show— You just felt it, deep down low. [Chorus] Hey hey! Spin me fast, don’t slow, Hear that accordion, let it go! From the backroad dust to the radio, That’s my daddy—let ‘em know! Sunday smoke from a backyard flame, Laughin’ soft, never chasin’ fame, Life was good where the good folks stay— And I still feel him every day! [Verse 2] Early light on a quiet green, Smoothest swing you’ve ever seen, Or a line cast out where the water runs slow, He’d just smile and let it go. Friends showed up, he’d wave ‘em in, That easy nod, that quiet grin, From a big cast iron to a barbecue pit, If love had a taste—he was cookin’ it. [Pre-Chorus] Jokes came low but they hit just right, Had us laughin’ late at night, Never loud, but always true— He didn’t have to… you just knew. [Chorus] Hey hey! Spin me fast, don’t slow, Hear that fiddle and the squeeze box go! From the front porch light to the rodeo, That’s my daddy—heart and soul! Sunday smoke from a backyard flame, Callin’ love without a name, Strong and steady in his own sweet way— And I still feel him every day! [Bridge – emotional lift, still moving] Time rolled in, quiet and slow, Tried to take what we used to know, But it never touched the love he gave, Strong and steady, brave and brave. Even when the words grew thin, You could feel his heart within, Now I hear him in the songs we play— Dancin’ close, not far away. [Breakdown – call & response] Hey! Y’all ready? (We ready!) Turn it up now! (Turn it up!) Clap your hands! (Clap ‘em loud!) Dance for him! (Make him proud!) [Final Chorus – biggest energy] Hey hey! Spin me fast, don’t slow, Play it loud, let the whole world know! From the bayou roots to the stars’ glow, That’s my daddy—still my home! Sunday smoke from a backyard flame, Still hear him callin’ out my name, Life was love in a simple way— And I’ll carry it every day! [Outro – joyful, warm] Yeah the fire still burns, the music plays, In every laugh and every sway, I’m still his girl, come what may— Dancin’ for him every day. 🎶
