Verse:
Six foot one and calloused, Daddy worked the land; 
Cutting wood and chopping cotton; building things by hand; 
Out in the field at sun-up with a biscuit and a coffee cup, 
You knew where you would find him, and you knew where he would stand. 

Chorus:
But Daddy had his weakness ... every man does;
Some they like to smoke and drink, some are known to cuss;
Some men have to roam and ramble; others have to cheat and gamble,
Daddy had his weakness sure enough … yeah, Daddy’s weakness was us 

Verse:
Momma was his soft spot; … his Achilles heel,
He always asked what she was thinking; always cared how she would feel;
When his buddies came around … and said, “Hey, let’s go to town.”
If she said a fence needs mending … he’d get ‘em all out in the field 

Chorus:
‘Cause Daddy had his weakness ... every man does;
Some they like to smoke and drink, some are known to cuss;
Some men have to roam and ramble; others have to cheat and gamble,
Daddy had his weakness sure enough … yeah, Daddy’s weakness was us 

Bridge:
I’m gonna raise my children; the same way he raised me,
And like my Daddy, my weakness … will be my family

Verse:
Well, my Daddy wasn’t easy … he stood firm and he drew the line
But he became a big softy … if he thought he’d made me cry
And I was stubborn in my way … and I sure made mistakes
But he’d pick me up and dust me off … and say,” Give it one more try!” 

Chorus:
Yeah, Daddy had his weakness ... every man does;
Some they like to smoke and drink, some are known to cuss;
Some men have to roam and ramble; others have to cheat and gamble,
Daddy had his weakness sure enough … yeah, Daddy’s weakness was us 

Outro:
We were Daddy’s weakness … yeah, we were Daddy’s weakness
