[Pre-Chorus]
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you’re fading too
Daddy, dear, oh daddy
I’m coming back to you

[Chorus]
You made my boyhood happy
Although I long to rule
I’ve had my way
And now I’ll stay
I long for you and for home

[Verse 1]
Daddy you’ve turned my sorrow to joy
You tried to bring me up right
I still remember the words you would say
I’m coming back home tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you’re fading too
Daddy, dear, oh daddy
I’m coming back to you

[Chorus]
You made my boyhood happy
Although I long to rule
I’ve had my way
And now I’ll stay
I long for you and for home
[Verse 2]
I’m leaving tonight
For an old southern town
And the best friend that I’ve ever had
I’ve roamed and I’ve rambled all over this world
I’m going back home to my dad

[Pre-Chorus]
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you’re fading too
Daddy, dear, oh daddy
I’m coming back to you

[Chorus]
You made my boyhood happy
And though I long to rule
I’ve had my way
And now I’ll stay
I long for you and for home

[Outro]
I’ve had my way
And now I’ll stay
I long for you and for home

[Yodel]
Yo-da-lay-ee-dee-oh
Oh-day-ee-dee-oh
Oh-day-oh, oh-day-ee-hee-ee
