Story behind the song
I wrote this song for my Dad. Figured since I wrote one for my Mom it would be a good idea to have one for Dad too since they both supported me 100% from the start.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Well my Daddy played guitar in a hillbilly travelin’ band Yeah he toured around the country with a guitar in his hand And he swore one day that he would have a son Who could pick and sing his way to number one And be the pride of the family tree just like his old man Verse 2 So he met a little girl and they had themselves a fling Yeah they fell in love from heaven above and he gave her a diamond ring Well they headed on up to Tennessee and ya know the rest is history But I can’t take all the credit for the way I sing Chorus Cause ya can’t slow me down Lord when I’m on a roll And if the feelin’s right I’m gonna play all night, Lord til I lose control But this country boy is steppin’ out with a little bit of rhythm and soul Cause my Daddy Was a Blues Man And Mama loved rock n roll Verse 3 Now every chance I get I like to take a trip back home To talk about the friends I’ve made cause they’re the reason I sing my songs But I can’t forget what my folks taught me about livin’ right and bein’ free And I take it with me everywhere I go Repeat Chorus Yeah my Daddy Was a Blues Man And Mama loved rock n roll Copyright 2002 Greg Austin
