randy travis - 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…
