With You Daddy Sawyer Brown

I asked my dad how did he quit smoking
He said, "Son one day I saw you tokin" on a
Half smoked cigarette, he left laying by his tools

He said I couldn't have been more than nine or ten
When I looked at him with a cat eating grin, and said
"Look at me daddy, I'm the Marlboro man, just like you."

I did my best to step in every footprint daddy made
I'd stretch my legs as far as they'd go
Chase after him and say

With you daddy, take me with you daddy
Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
Don't you know that's right where I belong

Six weeks shy of twenty-one
Daddy called and said I got some bad news son
Doctor says I ain't got very long and
I ain't told your mama yet

I said, "Daddy I'll be on the next flight home"
That ain't the kind of news you ought to break alone
I didn't break down till I hung up the phone
Damn them cigarettes
