There
are tears in her eyes as she hangs her Daddy’s shoes
On the cross by the side of the road
A new day has dawned as she kneels down to pray
By the flowers in the freshly fallen snow
Her Daddy fought the bottle all his life
Always hopin’ that his kids could turn out right
Daddy’s
Shoes are torn and tattered
Daddy’s Shoes are all that mattered
Like a sign from heaven bringing her the news
Daddy’s Shoes worn by an angel
Never knew they’d be so painful
She knew she’d never fill her Daddy’s Shoes
She started down the wrong road, her brother led the way
Never thinkin’ about the price her Daddy paid
Thought life could never end, that party was their friend
Her brother wore those shoes that sealed his fate
Her drinkin’ brother
missed the curve that night
His Daddy’s shoes were on his feet when he died
Daddy’s
Shoes are torn and tattered
Daddy’s Shoes are all that mattered
Like a sign from heaven bringing her the news
Daddy’s Shoes worn by an angel
Never knew they’d be so painful
She knew the day he died in his Daddy’s Shoes
Now the shoes will always hang there on that cross
She hopes the message never will be lost
(CHORUS)
She saw life the day he died, she knew faith the day he died
She could see because he died in his Daddy’s Shoes
