Kent's Song

Gonna Be Like Dad Someday

A boy was born some years ago
His mom and dad they loved him so
His daddy taught him how to play
He's gonna be like dad someday

He played guitar like his daddy did
Watched all the Stars while just a kid
His dad was great Aurther Smith had said
But now today his daddy's dead

chorus:
Daddy's gone...he's gone today
Don't know why God had to take him away
He wished he had more time to stay
He's gonna be like dad someday.

The years went by now he's a man
Played guitar in a country band
Played Rock & Roll...and Bluegrass too
He had the fastest hands I ever knew.

Now he's a dad...got him a boy
Straight from the mold he brought him joy
Then later came that little girl
But now he's gone he's left this world.

repeat chorus twice

I knew this man...he was my friend
I didn't know how things would end
I just wish he had more time to stay
But he's with his dad today.
