I remember when my daddy worked all day for just a dollar
Db Ab Eb
And he never saved a penny, but at least the bills were paid

And come home half as tired
Db Eb Ab
Then give the Lord a tenth of all he made
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
Db Ab Eb
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
Ab Eb Db Ab
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
Db Eb Ab
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord

Eb Ab
And smiled and said I'm going home

No one's ever found the answers

To the things my daddy left up to the Lord
