Song Lyrics

PLAYED THE OPRY

I REMEMBER SITTING ON THE PORCH LISTENING TO DADDY PLAY
HE'D PULL OUT HIS OLD GUITAR HE'D BEGIN TO SING
NOW I STILL RECALL ALL THOSE SUNNY DAYS
DAD WOULD LOOK AT ME AND GRIN HERE'S WHAT HE'D SAY

HE'D SAY SON I'VE PLAYED THIS OLE GUITAR FROM AN EARLY AGE
MAY HAVE PLAYED THE OPRY BUT I HAD BILLS TO PAY
AND I COULD NEVER LEAVE YOUR MOM NOW GOD REST HER SOUL
I SIT HERE AND PLAY FOR HER SHE'S LISTENING I KNOW

MANY A YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE SINCE DADDY PASSED AWAY
NOW HE SINGS FOR MOMMA IN A HOME FAR AWAY
MANY A NIGHTS I THINK OF THEM AND THE MUSIC DAD WOULD PLAY
THE MEMORIES OF HIS OLD GUITAR THE WORDS HE WOULD SAY

MANY A NIGHTS I'M ON THE ROAD SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME
AND I WALK OUT ONTO THE STAGE AND I SING YOU MY SONGS
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY DAD COULD NEVER LEAVE
HE HAD FOUND THE ONE TRUE LOVE I MAY NEVER MEET

WELL HE'D SAY SON I'VE PLAYED THIS OLE GUITAR FROM AN EARLY AGE
MAY HAVE PLAYED THE OPRY BUT I HAD BILLS TO PAY
AND I COULD NEVER LEAVE YOUR MOM NOW GOD REST HER SOUL
I SIT HERE AND PLAY FOR HER SHE'S LISTENING I KNOW
WELL I SIT HERE AND PLAY FOR HER SHE'S LISTENING I KNOW
