Daddy You Know What Lyrics by Bill Anderson
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Jim Wilson)

I own a mansion, I own the world
I own the heavens of blue
For my mind is at ease with my kids on my knees
Making my dream world come true.

Now, I don't have the finest home in town
And the car that I drive is old
But the way the good Lord is shinin' down on me
Is more precious to me than gold.

For you see he's blessed my life with children
Bright and strong and healthy
And when they hug my neck and kiss me
I know I'm really wealthy.

For where on earth could money buy
The happiness and the joy
Of a little girl curled up on your lap
Or a fishin' trip with your boy.

Why there's many a man with money to burn
Who'd give it all up just to hear
The soft little voice of his own little child
Saying his evening prayer.

I can fight the battles of life every day
Take trials and disappointments with a smile
For there's one thing I've got no matter
What the love and the devotion of my child.

I'll always be rich, looked up to by all
And get more from this old world than I'm due
When one of my kid climbs up in my lap and says
(Daddy you know what?)
What honey?
(I love you.)

I own a mansion, I own the world
I own the heavens of blue
For my mind is at ease with my kids on my knees
Making my dream world come true...
