I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick Drove down to the river to die alone Seven days, seven days till they found him all Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat So we put him in the ground Down, down, down Your momma said, "Stay strong, don't cry" So that is what you did Years later, years down Later down the road On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk A cigarette hanging out What happened to your lonely soul? Crying out What happened to your lonely soul? Screaming out You said try and lose You said try and lose Everything you've known Everything you've seen Everything you've loved Everything you've been And everywhere you walk Every song you sing Every time you wake It haunts you once again My daddy ain't coming home Daddy ain't coming home My daddy ain't coming home Daddy ain't coming home My daddy ain't coming home
