Josh Abbott Band - Ain't My Daddy's Town Lyrics
Dirt on a casket
Flowers in a basket
And momma's there crying
Daddy's there lying
Preacher saying something 'bout
But I'm still here, same last name
Standing in the rain
And this ain't my daddy's town no more
Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore
And I ain't saying I'm the man he was
But it's my turn to carry on what he loved
And this ain't my daddy's town no more
Gonna have to scoot the seat up
Take my mom out on a date
Make sure her bills aren't paid late
Cut the turkey at Christmas
Trying not to tear up
And be tough as nails, strong as oak
Just like him I hope
'Cause this ain't my daddy's town no more
Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore
And I ain't saying I'm the man he was
But it's my turn to carry on what he loved
And this ain't my daddy's town no more
When they carve my name on
That old marble piece of stone
And my kids are standing in the rain
I hope they'll wanna say
That this ain't my daddy's town no more
Somebody's gotta fill those boots he wore
And I ain't saying I'm the man he was
But it's my turn to carry on what he loved
And this ain't my daddy's town no more
Dirt on a casket
Flowers in a basket
And momma's there crying
Daddy's there lying

Josh Abbott Band Ain't My Daddy's Town Comments
Lost my dad in 2013 and ill never fill his boots, I do miss him .......
great song Josh, you're telling MY story!!!!
See y’all this Saturday
Very pretty song 🎶 touch my heart ❤ 💜 🎉
Caleb Keeter is against gun rights!? Is the rest of the band? :( So, let me get this right, when 1/100,000,000 event s take place that a lack of freedom would not have prevented, freedom suddenly scares him, he throws away freedom? Plenty of other bands out there I guess with intelligent adults that hold firm to their principles, even when they are scared.
Hey, fuck you.
Can't even describe how disappointed I am in Calebs ignorance and capitulation to those who mean to restrict our rights. Shame on you. Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Automatic weapons are already banned. I would have thought that you would have known that. I was sorely mistaken. Signed, an ex fan. Texas mourns another son lost to liberal lunacy.
Fuck you. It's not about that.
Zach Millar fuck you. Country, and especially Texas country, is the last bastion of sanity left out there in the music world. And we just lost one more band.
Scott ur legally retarded
Yikes, obviously you don't know what this song is 'bout
I wish I could like this video 1M times. Such a good song!
awesome song
Very heartfelt. Great job!
i'm not crying you are
People who said they didn't cry are liars
Such a real and touching tribute to a father who was greatly loved!
Such a touching song. My dad would of been 80 next week. I remember standing there when we laid my dad to rest. Remember that day like it just happened. Was a very cold day wind was blowing and you couldn't see the sun. He passed away September 25 2 years ago. Miss you Daddy
