Introduction
There aren’t many country stars around with a fanbase like Luke Bryan. The legendary musician and American Idol judge finds himself in the spotlight once again with his tear-jerking song, “Build Me A Daddy.”
This tune is all about a young boy who loses his father. When the boy enters a store that shows an advertisement stating he can build anything, the heartbroken child knows exactly what he wants them to make for him.
Luke Bryan is a staple in the world of country music. He’s sticking to his roots with this sappy song from his album, “Born Here, Live Here, Die Here.” The country star hopes that his fans can relate to the song, and it could even help some grieve.
The lyrics take you on an emotional journey that will make you want to call up your father to tell him how much you love him. It’s clear that fatherhood has given Bryan a new outlook on life, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

Lyrics
A boy walks past a window of a glowin’ open sign
Full of wooden toys and trucks and painted trains
Rings a bell up on the counter, hands a picture to the man
Of a kid beside a soldier smiling away
Said, “Sir, I’ve heard you can build anything”
Could you build me a daddy?
Strong as Superman
Make him ten feet tall with a Southern drawl
And a crooked smile, if you can
‘Cause I sure miss him
Maybe you could bring him back?
If I walked in with him, it’d sure make mama happy
If you could build me a daddy
There’s an old Winchester rifle
Back home hangin’ on the wall
He promised me he’d teach me how to aim
And he said when I got older
We could work on that curveball
I know he’d never wanna miss a game
So here’s a little money that I’ve saved
Could you build me a daddy?
Strong as Superman
Make him ten feet tall with a Southern drawl
And a crooked smile, if you can
I sure miss him
Maybe you could bring him back?
If I walked in with him, it’d sure make mama happy
If you could build me a daddy
Give him a big heart, make his arms wide open
I know he misses me, so Mister, I was hopin’
You could build me a daddy
Strong as Superman
Make him ten feet tall with a Southern drawl
And a fishing pole in his hand
‘Cause I sure miss him
Maybe you could bring him back?
If I walked in with him, it’d sure make my mama happy
If you could you build me a daddy
Could you build me a daddy?
