Daddy told me not to ride my bike across that rocky creek You know it's swift in places and son it's pretty deep But hardheaded full of pride I went on anyway And if daddy hadn't been watchin' me I wouldn't be here today. Father knows best, father knows best If he hadn't been lookin' out for me I'd be in such a mess I swore from then on I would do just what he said 'Cause father knows best, father knows best. I remember back in high school about sixteen years old My friend said let's go drinkin', but daddy told me not to go Now I'm so glad that I stayed home 'cause it turned out he was right When the papers came the next mornin' it was there in black and white. Father knows best, father knows best If he hadn't been lookin' out for me I'd be in such a mess I swore from then on I would do just what he said 'Cause father knows best, father knows best. Today a man knocked on my door and said your daddy died I tried holdin' back the tears but I just stood there and cried Lord, you know I loved him, why did he have to go away Then lookin' up to Heaven I heard somebody say. Father knows best, father knows best I'm always lookin' out for you so your heart can be at rest I'll see you through the bad times, just remember what I said Father knows best, father knows best. Daddy told me not to ride my bike across that rocky creek You know it's swift in places and son it's pretty deep But hardheaded full of pride I went on anyway And if daddy hadn't been watchin' me I wouldn't be here today.

Your Father knows best son, your Father knows best
