Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My daddy had a tender heart, Most the time.
Loved cars, drinking whisky and his wine.
He could change an engine block, As 20 minutes fell off the clock,
And Always wore his belt, made of steel.
[Verse 2]
One day we got a call, late at night;
Daddy crashed his car and stabbed a man in a fight;
Found him laying out in a field,
To me it didn’t seem real,
Until I saw Daddy’s belt, made of steel;
[Chorus]
My daddy wore a belt, made of steel
Fine leather, double eyelets, that made you feel
His swing was true and straight,
We all knew our fate,
When daddy grabbed his belt, made of steel;
Verse 3
Now daddy survived the wreck, once again,
But he and momma split up, When I was 10;
He disappeared from my life,
it was only when I married my wife,
That I again saw, Daddys Belt, made of steel;
Verse 4
Daddy walked into the Church with his new wife,
Still tall, thin and handsome, he was a sight
He walked over to shake my hand, was proud I became a man
And he was wearing that belt, made of steel,
Chorus
My daddy wore a belt, made of steel
Fine leather, double eyelets, that made you feel
His swing was true and straight,
We all knew our fate,
When daddy grabbed his belt, made of steel
[Verse 5]
Now daddy was a loving selfish man;
He cared more about his cars than his clan;
He was tight as a sailors knot,
wouldn't spend a dime no matter what
And he always wore his belt ..made of steel
[Verse 6]
One day daddy called me on the phone;
Said son I'm sick and need ya to come back home,
There is something I want you to have,
Given to me by my dad,
And I call it Daddy's belt made of steel;
[Chorus]
Now I wear a belt made of steel
Fine leather, double eyelets to make you feel,
My swing is true and straight
My kids all knew their fate,
When I grabbed my belt made of steel
