I never listen to my daddy that much
I got a pocket full of numbers he says not to touch
He never listens that much to me either
Got a pocket full of shells saying "Boy, you better leave her"
I gotta say I can't go on this way, I just about lost my mind
And if I had to choose between all these fools
I tell ya what a fella I'd find
I want him lank like Hank, talkin' deep like Randy
Wear a pistol 'round his waist, keep me safe like Andy
It's a doggone shame I can't win the game
To find that sweet lovin' daddy of mine
Sifting through cowboys got me in a sweat
I got a hundred million dollars and no place to bet
I'm rolling dice for a piece of that pie
But my odds are feeling low when the stakes are so high
One of these days I'll strike it rich and say
I'm glad I sunk it here all at once
And if I had to choose between all those fools
I bet I'd pick the best of the bunch
Chorus
I searched this whole world over, not a keeper have I found
If wishes were white horses, they'd have hauled me outta town
Instrumental
Chorus
It's a doggone shame I can't win the game
To find that sweet loving daddy of mine
