Reba Mcentire - Daddy Lyrics
(reba mcentire)My daddy is a rancherHes wrangled cattle dang near all his lifeHe also liked to rodeoHe traveled around with four kids and a wifeWell his old ranch is rockyBut his ropes sail smooth for several yearsHe worked real hardAnd roped real goodAnd tried to get his ranch out in the clearHe didnt want us kids to rodeoHe wanted more out of life for usMaybe banking, or a lawyerOr maybe even driving some old busWell thats when we took up singingAnd his pride grew greater day by dayAnd I know his eyes grew mistyThe night I sang up on the opry stageChorus:Now his ranch is so much biggerThe the days when he first startedThe grass grows now where none used to beHis roping got him startedCattle prices made it betterAnd hes trying to get his ranch out in the clearFive years ago september, he bought more steers and hung up all hisRopesBut he often tells the stories about the rodeos he won and cowboy jokesWell its funny that the first big roping that he won some thirty yearsAgoWas the same day that I sang on the stage of the grand old opry showRepeat chorusNow hes feeding cattleToting hayAnd branding the y.o.And his hired hands there to help himAnd she also cooks their meals when they get homeThey built their ranch togetherAnd listening to the kids sing through the yearsWell they worked real hard and roped real good and now they got theirRanchOut in the clearBecause when a family works togetherThey finally get their ranch out in the clearOut in the clear
