Letra de My Daddy Never Was
My boss will tell you that I've been to work all week on time That I ain't had no liquor on my breathe Ain't no kinda' secret, I've been known to take a drink And it's made me do some things that I regretLoretta 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 her clothes out on the clothes line And the dishes in the sink So I guess she knows that she ain't coming backWell I just want to see my kids I just want to hold my girls Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothing else in this ole world I just want to be around enough to know that they've been loved I just want to be their daddy, my daddy never wasNow lately she's been knowin' this old boy she met in church And I can't say she's wrong for wanting 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 tooks 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 something in her eyes So I reckon that she knows I ain't so badI just want to see my kids I just want to hold my girls Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothing else in this ole world I just want to be around enough to know that they've been loved I just want to be their daddy, my daddy never wasWell my boss will tell you that I've been to work all week on time And I ain't had no liquor on my breathe
