Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. – Daddy (I Need You Tonight)

Daddy was a country singer
And he wrote the songs that everybody played back in his day
Daddy’s gone but the songs still linger
In the memory of the ones who can recall the way he played

And I don’t sing the way my daddy did but you know I do alright
And I don’t say it like my daddy did but I need you tonight

All my life I’ve been on stages you won’t believe some of the places
That I’ve played in my days
I guess I’ve earned a lot of wages but not enough to match the dues
That I’ve paid in my days
And it’s nice to find some people like you as I go from town to town
Cause as long as ya all are with me you know I’ll always be around

No I don’t sing it like my daddy did hey you know I do alright
And I don’t say it like my daddy did but I need you tonight
I don’t sing it like my daddy did but you know I still do alright
And I don’t say it like my daddy did but I still need you tonight
