One day little Billy said &ldquo momma, where&rsquo s my dad?&rdquo
G D A D
fighting back the tears she said &ldquo I knew one day you&rsquo d ask&rdquo
D C A D
She walked him down the hallway, to a closet with a safe
G D A G A D
Said &ldquo I think you&rsquo ll find the answer right here, in these 18 video tapes&rdquo
D G A D
See the doctors told him he&rsquo d be gone before you were born
G D A D
And it broke his heart to know he&rsquo d never hold you in his arms
D C A D
Determined not to let you grow up learning from mistakes
G D A G A D
He put everything he thought you&rsquo d need to know, on 18 video tapes
G Em D A
Like here&rsquo s the way you hold a bat,
G Em D A
Be sure to keep that shoulder back
G D G D
And when you cast that rod and reel,
G D A
Well use your wrist its in the field,
G Em D A
Or when you learn to ride your bike
G Em D A D G
I&rsquo ll tell you now that you won&rsquo t like those training wheels
G D A
But your momma will
D G A D
That day on his momma showed him one of them a year
G D A D
Sometimes it was almost like his dad was really there
D C A D
Sometimes he laughed, sometimes he cried
G A D
But he always walked away
G D A G A D
Having learned another lesson from his dad, in those 18 video tapes
G Em D A
Like when you shave don&rsquo t get too close
G Em D A
Lose the hair but leave the nose
G D G D
And when your momma gives you my old truck
G D A
Don&rsquo t drive too fast or ride the clutch
D G A
Don&rsquo t listen to your buddies son
D G A D G
when the conversation comes to the birds and bees
D G A
Just go to tape 18
D G A D
Well I just need to tell you one more thing before I go
G D A D
It wont be long you&rsquo ll have a little baby of your own
D C A D
Be there for him every day, no matter what it takes
G D A G A D
Even you have to put your love on 18 video tapes
