Daddy used to build things out of wood
He loved the finished product it always turned out good
He'd sweat for countless hours no help from anyone
He found his satisfaction in a job well done

I finally helped my daddy when I was twelve years old
A friends yard needed fencin he let me dig the holes
Underneath the maple tree before we had our lunch
He blessed the food with a smile and said son

Job well done way to go
I couldn't have done it without you now we're goin home
Your hard work and devotion make me proud of you son
That a boy job well done

I went off to college time goes by so fast
Now I'm graduating at the top of my class
By the banquet table in front of everyone
Daddy shook my hand and said son

Job well done way to go
You finally finished college now we're goin home
Your hard work and devotion make me proud of you son
That a boy job well done

Mama called at midnight holdin back the tears
Daddy's heart was failin after 67 years
I made it to his bedside and whispered in his ear
Just loud enough for him to hear

Job well done way to go
I couldn't have made it without you now you're goin home
Your hard work and devotion make me proud to be your son
Thank you dad job well done
