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.
