lyrics

Daddy got a rockin' chair
Gonna rock in it all day long
Daddy got a rockin' chair
Gonna rock in it all day long

Rock in the mornin'
And he rock in the afternoon
Like a man on a mission
He's rockin' to the moon

That ol' rocker has seen better days
Once a mighty oak
Now a dusty ol' grey
That ol' rocker been down on the farm
With a broken back
Shaky in the arms
When the rails start shakin'
And the parts start to moan
I hear'em out there rockin'
Rock on, Daddy, rock on

Daddy got a rockin' chair
Gonna rock in it all day long
Daddy got a rockin' chair
Gonna rock in it all day long

Rock in the mornin'
And he rock in the afternoon
Like a man on a mission
He's rockin' to the moon

That ol' rocker
Spent some time out in the sun
With a finish, it's all cracked and a shine, it's all but gone
That ol' rocker
Came down from the trees
He was built for comfort, wasn't built for speed
But when the rails start shakin'
Parts start to moan
You can hear'em out there rockin'
Rock on, Daddy, rock on

But when the rails start shakin'
Parts start to moan
You can hear'em out there rockin'
Rock on, Daddy, rock on
