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 sure would make mama happy if you could build me a daddy There's an old Winchester Alpha 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 want to miss a game So here's a load of 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, cause I sure miss him Maybe you could bring him back if I walked in with him It sure would make mama 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 sure would make mama happy if you could build me a daddy Could you build me a daddy?
