Track: My Daddy Never Was

My Daddy Never Was Lyrics

My boss'll tell you that
I've been to work all week on time
And I ain't had no liquor on my breath
It ain't no kind of secret
I've been known to take a drink
And it's made me do some things that I regret.

Loretta said, ''This ain't no kind of way
To raise a family.''
And one night she called it quits
And called a cab.
She left clothes out on the clothes line
And the dishes in the sink
So I guess she knows
That she ain't coming back.

But, I just wanna see my kids
I just wanna hold my girls
Heaven knows I ain't got much
An' nothin' else in this whole world
I just wanna be around enough
To know that they've been loved
I just wanna be the daddy
My daddy never was.

--- Instrumental ---

Now lately she's been knowin'
This ol' boy she met in church
And I can't say she's wrong for wantin' more
I gave him the right to tell my wife
That I can't come around
The night I knocked a hole in her front door.

And Loretta took my keys
And she made me wait outside
But she didn't call the law
She called a cab
And as I pulled away
I saw somethin' in her eyes
So I Reckon that she knows
I ain't so bad.

I just wanna see my kids
I just wanna hold my girls
Heaven knows I ain't got much
An' nothin' else in this whole world
I just wanna be around enough
To know that they've been loved
I just wanna be the daddy
My daddy never was.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, My boss'll tell you that
I've been to work all week on time
And I ain't had no liquor on my breath...
