They Don't Make 'em Like My Daddy
de Cal Smith
I wasn't much more than a baby I thought he was a bear
The way my daddy carried me around
They said I learned to walk while holding on to just one finger
On the hand of a man that stands at six-foot-three
Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression
Just something people talked about a lot
My daddy wasn't one that tried to make no big impressions
Just one hell of a man that worked for what he got
They don't make men like my daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years
In this great big land of freedom at the time we really need 'em
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore
[ guitar ]
From the Johnson County coal camps to the hills of West Virginia
My daddy worked down in them hard coal mines
Education didn't count so much as what you had born in you
Like the will to live and a dream of better times
Daddy never took a handout we ate pinto beans a bacon
But he worked to keep the wolf pact from the door
And it only proves one thing to me when folks start belly achin'
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore
They don't make men like my daddy anymore...
