From the recording The Best
Anyone who has had young children can relate to this song – your child sitting in the back seat on a road trip, finally settling down, letting their imagination run free.
Lyrics
Daddy’s Car ©2026 J.J. Shea
I love to ride in my daddy’s car,
Sitting in the back seat we drive so far.
Across America, East Coast to West,
Cruise through Disneyland that’s the best.
Riding in my daddy’s car,
Feeling like a child rock and roll star.
Singing daddy’s favorite tune,
About that big old crazy moon.
I love to fly in my daddy’s plane,
Cross the Atlantic to southern Spain.
Wave to the birdies as they’re flying by,
From the Antarctic to the summer sky.
Flying in my daddy’s plane.
Got a million miles to my name.
Going round the world once again.
Let’s head for the sun and leave the rain.
I love to sail in my daddy’s boat.
He made it strong to keep us afloat.
Head to the Caribbean as we planned.
Run to the beach, play in the sand.
Sailing in my daddy’s boat.
Singing happy songs that he wrote.
Guided by the stars in the night.
Just daddy and me sail by their light.
(REPEAT SECOND VERSE)
I love to ride in my daddy’s car.
Sitting in the back seat we drive so far.
