Daddy's Song Still Hums

Verse 1

Scratched up radio hanging on a nail

Forty years of fiddle paint and dust

Some songs just reach down and grab your chest

Make you feel like someone you used to trust

Pre-Chorus

A slow two-step and a steel guitar bend

Can turn a stranger into an old friend

Chorus

Funny how just a melody can move your heart

Three chords and a lifetime wrapped up in the dark

A song you heard at your daddy's knee

Still hummin' in your memory

Funny how just a melody can move your heart

Verse 2

Mama sang it soft in the kitchen light

Dish towel swinging keeping time

One line about a highway or a faded rose

And suddenly I'm five years old again tonight

Pre-Chorus

A half-remembered verse and a chorus so true

Takes me right back to the life I knew

Chorus

Funny how just a melody can move your heart

Three chords and a lifetime wrapped up in the dark

A song you heard at your daddy's knee

Still hummin' in your memory

Funny how just a melody can move your heart

Bridge

It ain't the words alone that land

It's the way they settle in your hands

Like a photograph you can't put down

Like a voice you've carried all around

Chorus

Funny how just a melody can move your heart

Three chords and a lifetime wrapped up in the dark

A song you heard at your daddy's knee

Still hummin' in your memory

Funny how just a melody can move your heart
