Sunday Song Lyric:

What would make a good Sunday Song Lyric for Father's Day? How about
"Father Knows Best," by [1]Ricky Skaggs? I am not the biggest country
music fan, and I don't know too many of Skaggs' songs, but it is hard
not to be impressed by his commercial and artistic [2]success. "Father
Knows Best" appeared on Skaggs' 1991 album [3]My Father's Son. The
song was written by Lenny LeBlanc and Mike Curtis. Here is a taste of
the [4]lyrics.
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.
