My Daddy and Me

My daddy and me
We ran to the rainbow
My daddy and me
We flew where the clouds blow
Down by the shore
We ran till we couldn’t run any more
Down by the sea
My daddy and me
My daddy and me
Went down to the rodeo
I knew I could win
My daddy told me so
I rode like the wind
I brought that ribbon home to him
Oh, what a jamboree
For daddy and me
Daddy got mad sometimes
But you know that’s how daddies are
He threw his hat at the fencepost
But it never went that far
And I got scared and teary-eyed
But all that I could see
Was daddy and me
My daddy and me
Went down to the railroad
We sat on the hill
Just about where the train slowed
The engineer was my friend
Blew his whistle, stood my hair on end
If you’d have been there you could see
Like daddy and me
My daddy went home
Where I couldn’t follow
He left in the night
And flew like a swallow
And now that I’m grown
I still don’t feel like I’m alone
We’re limbs on the same old tree
My daddy and me
Daddy got mad sometimes
But you know that’s how daddies are
He threw his hat at the fencepost
But it never went that far
And I got scared and teary-eyed
But all that I could see
Was daddy and me
Now my daddy and me
We ran to the rainbow
My daddy and me
We flew where the clouds blow
Down by the shore
We ran till we couldn’t run any more
Down by the sea
My daddy and me
Down by the sea
My daddy and me
