A boy walks past a window of a glowing, open sign Full of wooden toys and trucks and painted trains Rings a bell up on the counter, hands a picture to the man Of a kid beside a soldier smiling away Said, "Sir, I've heard you can build anything" Could you build me a daddy? Strong as Superman Make him 10 feet tall with a southern drawl and a crooked smile if you can 'Cause I sure miss him Maybe you could bring him back? If I walked in with him, it'd sure make Momma happy, if you could build me a daddy There's an old Winchester rifle, back home hanging on the wall He promised me, he'd teach me how to aim And he said, when I got older, we could work on that curveball I know he'd never wanna miss a game So, here's a little money that I've saved Could you build me a daddy? Strong as Superman Make him 10 feet tall with a southern drawl and a crooked smile if you can I sure miss him Maybe you could bring him back If I walked in with him, it'd sure make Momma happy, if you could build me a daddy Give him a big heart, make his arms wide open I know he misses me, so Mister, I was hoping You could build me a daddy Strong as Superman Make him 10 feet tall with a southern drawl and a fishing pole in his hand 'Cause I sure miss him Maybe you could bring him back If I walked in with him, it'd sure make my momma happy, if you could you build me a daddy Could you build me a daddy?
