Song Lyrics

Daddy's dream is simple
And he keeps it in his heart
And he brings out out on Sunday
Or whenever music starts
Says if something is worth doing
Then it's worth doing right
And if you give your life to music
Your music will give you life
So I keep singing every night

And I'm still chasing daddy's dream
Singing songs about my life
Trying to figure out what it all means
To keep going against the odds
Like a salmon swimming upstream
Trying to find my way
Chasing daddy's dream

There's a picture that I think of
He's in his best-dressed cowboy clothes
And he's holding his favorite six-string
And trying not to pose
And his voice was young and strong then
It reached up to the skies
And his dream was deep within him
You can see it in his eyes
To be singing one more time

And I'm still chasing daddy's dream
Singing songs about my life
Trying to figure out what it all means
To keep going against the odds
Like a salmon swimming upstream
Trying to find my way
Chasing daddy's dream

And like an old phonograph that keeps playing in my mind
I can still hear him sing, "that silver-haired daddy of mine"

And I'm still chasing daddy's dream
Singing songs about my life
Trying to figure out what it all means
To keep going against the odds
Like a salmon swimming upstream
Taking the long way home
Chasing daddy's dream
Daddy's dream
