Lyrics
My daddy was a trucker man
Saw every inch of this fair land and more
He didn't mind the taxin' hours
Just loved the road like his old man before
Me and my two sisters and our mama
Missed him while he was away
But we held the fort in Georgia
Daddy made sure all the bills got paid
Mama always told him honey
Get your rest and please mind what you eat
But I guess he didn't listen
His heart gave out when he was fifty-three
At my daddy's funeral
We saw some folks we'd never seen before
So I thought nothin' of it
When I saw four strangers walkin' through the door
I heard the lady tell someone
Her three boys they were all her sons and men
My eyes grew the size of saucers
I could not believe what I heard next
She said we came here to Georgia
All the way from California where we live
To bury my poor husband here where he was born
Because that was his wish
I looked at my mama
But her eyes were locked on somethin' like a bolt
Three little versions of my daddy
Hangin' off their widowed mother's coat
My daddy's wife from Georgia and his wife from California
Then locked eyes
Neither of them said a word
Just looked at each other and cried
Years have passed and now I have
A growin' little family of my own
As you do so much in life
I just had to learn to let it go
It's hard enough to keep a family happy
When you're dealin' with just one
Daddy kept two families happy
Guess that's a feat for anyone
At that trucker's funeral
Two women buried wedding rings
If you're at a trucker's funeral
Be prepared for anything
At that trucker's funeral
Two women buried wedding rings
If you're at a trucker's funeral
Be prepared for anything
