A fire fighter hanging on the edge of Heaven
a trucker nearly took his life
On a smoke filled Kentucky highway
the first responder by chance was his wife
In his fireman's jacket directing traffic
this trucker didn't stop to see
His little gals cried, I want my daddy
please come back to me

He don't wanner die, he don't wanner
make his little gals cry
It's not his time to say goodbye
he's see an angel in the sky
He is a Daviess County fire fighter
serving his small community
His little gals cried, I want my daddy
please come back to me

This fire fighter one heartbeat away from Heaven
as she fights to save his life
On a smoked filled Kentucky highway
he's her dove her love her life
He opened is eyes, has clear as day
and said this dove needs some Tlc
His little gals cried, I want my daddy
please come back to me

He don't want to die, he don't want to make his little gals cry
It's not his time to say goodbye
he's see an angel in the sky
He is a Daviess County fire fighter
serving his small community
His little gals cried, I want my daddy
please come back to me

This fire fighter been on Tv for all for all the world to see
The first responder an Emt was his wife giving Tlc
With her tender loving care

He don't want to die, he don't want to make his little gals cry
It's not his time to say goodbye, he's see an angel in the sky
He is a Daviess County fire fighter
serving his small community
His little gals cried, I want my daddy
please come back to me
His little gals cried, I want my daddy
he's now come back to me
