Jennifer Brown - Daddy's Gone Lyrics
She was only 16, didnt know the first thing about lifeJust tryin to do right & just doin her momma wrongAnd her daddy walked out, he was talked out, no more hangin aboutTryin to keep his happy face on, guess papa aint that strongAnd he left his little girl in the middle of the nightShe was calling out his name after hearing them fightDaddys gone, daddys gone movin onLeavin momma at home he found another womanNow hes goneDaddys gone leaving a legacy of love gone wrongWhen she turned 21, she found the big city lifeAnd the neon lights and drinkin it up til dawnMet her boyfriend bill, who couldnt sit still, put her on the pillAnd still she would wake up alone, who can run away from homeBill was calling up his girl in the middle of the nightSaid, Im not your old man who aint doin you right. your...Daddys gone, daddys gone movin onLeavin momma at home he found another womanNow hes goneDaddys gone leaving a legacy of love gone wrongAt the age of 65, she was the single mother of nineEvery now and then she would praise her momma to the lord ]And with tears in her eyes, shed remember that night after hearing them fightShe would never trust a man, no, never againWith the graying in her hair and the wisdom of ageShe would try to forgive the man no one could saveNo one could save her
