Daddy had a secret

In a hiding a place

His son would retrieve it

On his dying day, yeah



Those times were something

They were something



He taught him how to love

He taught him how to fight

He stressed the need to work

For all the things he'd like



And those times were something

They were something

Those times were something

They were something, yeah



And after school one day

The boy went through some things

He found a letter there

And fell down to his knees

He wasn't suppose to be there, yeah



The letter read I'm not your daddy

But I sure would like to be

But there's one thing blood can't take away

And that's that well always be friends



And those times were something

They were something

Those times were something

They were something, yeah



Those times were something

They were something

Those times were something

They were something, yeah
