David Allan Coe - Missin' The Kid lyrics

I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did Taking all but my pride honey one things for certain Missing you’s nothing compared to missing the kid She was the light of my life she could brighten the darkness If not for her we’d have nothing to show for it all You took what’s left of what once was my reason for livin’ Livin’ without her is no reason for living at all Someday shell ask you to answer a lot of old questions What will you tell her about me if she wants to know She was too young to remember the reason you left me If you found a reason to tell her I’d sure like to know I tell myself that it’s all for the best if I don’t try to see her Seeing her now would not make up for all she’s been through Watching two people she once called her mother and father Acting like stranger that’s something I just could not do I can’t believe after all of these years I still miss you Why won’t your memory leave me the same way you did Taking all but my pride one things for certain Missing you is nothing compared to missing the kid
