I remember when my daddy worked all day   For Just a dollar and he never saved a penny   But at least the bills were payed.   I never seen a man worked half as hard   And come home half as tired   The give the Liord a tip of all he made.      Chorus:   Daddy said I'm making payments on the mansion   And so many times he told me this old world is not home   And he told me he'd been promised he'd recieve s fair reward   Daddy did the best he could and left the rest up to the Lord.      Now I never seen a man that had no reason for complaining   But he smiled at me explaining how he never walked alone   When they called me to his death bed I remember   How my daddy just looked up and smiles and said I'm going home.      Chorus:   Daddy said I'm making payments on the mansion   And so many times he told me this old world is not home   And he told me he'd been promised he'd recieve s fair reward   Daddy did the best he could and left the rest up to the Lord.      --- Instrumental ---      Seen my daddy leave this world for one much better   I've been watching people worrying more and working for things they can't afford   In a world that's filled with problems no one ever found   The answers to the things my daddy left to the Lord.      Daddy did his best and left the rerst up to the Lord.
