Lyrics
Daddy Closed His Barbershop a.k.a. "Be Careful Who You Idolize" Cindy Miller © 2003 VERSE One November day in Dallas Back in nineteen sixty three Daddy knew just where he was Always cried when he told me Said JFK could’ve changed the world But his future was denied And daddy closed his barbershop On the day Kennedy died VERSE One sultry August afternoon I heard my daddy cry out loud I never saw him hurt so much That man was too damn proud I was only ten years old When the "King" bid us good-bye And daddy closed his barbershop On the day that Elvis died BRIDGE (or chorus) He always said it was his curse Took me years to realize What daddy meant when he said Be careful who you idolize VERSE It was late Indian Summer Morning was drawing near When momma called me crying “Baby, hurry and get here” Got there quickly as I could And hugged him one last time Then I closed his barbershop On The day that Daddy died END He always said it was his curse And now... I realize What daddy meant when he said Be careful who you idolize
