I Hitched A Ride With Dad

First, dad would hold me in his arms .

He would dance with me as he sang to me .

He was always using the right key to get me to sleep .

As I got older ,

I hitched a ride on dad’s knee .

We would ride into the sunset .

Together we would laugh so hard

That mom would say

From time to time no more.

Dad would say ok

Until tomorrow night .

As I got older ,

Dad and I would go for a ride

In his pickup called Old Faithful

Because dad could always get Old Faithful going  .

I would get to sit on his lap

And drive Old Faithful out into the country .

And  go see Tiley dad’s horse .

We would go for a ride together.

Dad riding Tiley  sitting on the big horn saddle .

I got to sit around the big horn !!

I would try to keep my 2 hands on the horn

But dad his one big arm around me

So I would be safe  .

We would ride as one .

We would sing Black Bird .

Oh I still have these early memories

Of hitching rides with daddy.
