Daddy's Margarita Rose (Revisited)

Daddy's Margarita Rose & Daddy’s Margarita Rose Revisited Lyric Sheet
Co-Writers: Bruce Tarletsky, Jimmy Mattingly, Chris Luezinger

Like an old screen door barely hanging on after all these years
That Oklahoma wind is music to his ears
Take Me Back to Tulsa is playing on my mind
Would Love to see my Daddy; But I just couldn’t find the time

They said that Colorado is where he needs to be
But that red dirt cowboy said it just not for me
He tried to make things work; It didn’t feel like home
I saw him dying deep inside like a wilting rose

So, I brought him back and We sat in the shade of the old Oak Tree
We Sipped a margarita just my Daddy and me
Bob Wills playing on the AM Radio; Lord tell me just where did all those years go,
Daddy I hope you’ll always know; I love you forever your Margarita Rose

I was miles away when the phone call came, they said he’d be ok
Let me know if things are looking bad and I’ll be on my way
Time went by but still no word; sit by the phone all night
Life without him was sinking in; something was right

And Tears came rolling down my face
I realized I couldn’t say Goodbye; It’s too late
But Daddy I hope you’ll always know
I’ll Love you forever; Your Margarita Rose
