Good Morning World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a road that winds through winter snow 'Cause the man beside her holds the wheel Like he holds the world in place And she knows that nothing's gonna fall Long as she can see his face [Chorus] Good morning world, that's what you'd say Like every dawn deserved a celebration You gave us roots, you gave us wings You gave us love beyond imagination Through every storm you stood so tall My Daddy Ken, you gave us all [Verse 2] You worked the highways, worked the weeks So your family wouldn't lack And your Margie stretched each quarter thin Till you'd finally make it back She'd get her hair done Friday afternoon Just to greet you looking fine And you loved that woman seventy-three years Like the first day, every time [Chorus] Good morning world, that's what you'd say Like every dawn deserved a celebration You gave us roots, you gave us wings You gave us love beyond imagination Through every storm you stood so tall My Daddy Ken, you gave us all [Bridge] When the hardest losses cracked that shell You let us see you cry And the tender heart we always knew Finally opened wide From a pink Torino at the table To leaping with a casted foot You showed up every single time The way only my Daddy could [Verse 3] You built your heaven log by log From a barn and someone's home Giant fry pan on the fire Chipmunks eating from your palm Birthday summers, Thanksgivings Every friend was family too And when your Margie needed you the most You moved right in beside her room You went shopping for a toilet seat And came home with a car You threw me on your shoulder Climbed two storeys through the dark You wrapped a dinky car with cash Said at least finish the year Daddy Ken Felker, all your children rise And call you blessed from here [Chorus] Good morning world, that's what you'd say Like every dawn deserved a celebration You gave us roots, you gave us wings You gave us love beyond imagination Through every storm you stood so tall My Daddy Ken, you gave us all [Outro] So cheers, My Daddy, from your Sher My love forever from afar You're still the man who holds the wheel My safest place, right where you are
