Randy Travis Album: Passing Through 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...
