Randy Travis - My Daddy Never Was Lyrics
My boss'll tell you thatI've been to work all week on timeAnd I ain't had no liquor on my breathIt ain't no kind of secretI've been known to take a drinkAnd it's made me do some things that I regret.Loretta said, ''This ain't no kind of wayTo raise a family.''And one night she called it quitsAnd called a cab.She left clothes out on the clothes lineAnd the dishes in the sinkSo I guess she knowsThat she ain't coming back.But, I just wanna see my kidsI just wanna hold my girlsHeaven knows I ain't got muchAn' nothin' else in this whole worldI just wanna be around enoughTo know that they've been lovedI just wanna be the daddyMy daddy never was.--- Instrumental ---Now lately she's been knowin'This ol' boy she met in churchAnd I can't say she's wrong for wantin' moreI gave him the right to tell my wifeThat I can't come aroundThe night I knocked a hole in her front door.And Loretta took my keysAnd she made me wait outsideBut she didn't call the lawShe called a cabAnd as I pulled awayI saw somethin' in her eyesSo I Reckon that she knowsI ain't so bad.I just wanna see my kidsI just wanna hold my girlsHeaven knows I ain't got muchAn' nothin' else in this whole worldI just wanna be around enoughTo know that they've been lovedI just wanna be the daddyMy daddy never was.--- Instrumental ---Oh, My boss'll tell you thatI've been to work all week on timeAnd I ain't had no liquor on my breath...
