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 ten 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 ten 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 ten 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?
