I told my daddy, I wanna be a country star
He said don't worry sweetheart, I know you're gonna
Go far
He taught me how to sing, while he played his old
Guitar
And I want to say I'm thankful, from the bottom of
My heart
Like all the times you held me up, when I couldn't see
Up from down
You were there to catch me, to get me where I am now
I still remember, he was sparkling with pride
Just holding back, the tears in his eyes
When the lights go out
My daddy's still around
'Cause he's still my biggest fan in town
Way back when that little girl knew
She wanted to sing like Linda and Emmylou
Singing her songs just tryin' to be heard
Like all the big stars do
You were always the last to leave my show
To pack up my gear and drive me home
And I wanna say I'm thankful,
To you, everything I owe
Like all the times you held me up, when I couldn't see
Up from down
You were there to catch me, to get me where I am now
I still remember, he was sparkling with pride
Just holding back, the tears in his eyes
Now
When the lights go out
My daddy's still around
'Cause he's still my biggest fan in town
I still remember, he was sparkling with pride
Just holding back, the tears in his eyes
Now
When the lights go out
My daddy's still around
'Cause he's still my biggest fan in town
He's still my biggest fan in town
