Verse 1:
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.
(Guitar solo)
Years later, years down, later down the road
on the bus with your FM radio.
Half drunk, a cigarette hangin out,
what happened to your lonely soul.
Crying out,
what happened to your lonely soul.
Screamin out.
You said try and lose, you said try and lose.
Everything you've known, everything you've seen.
Everything you've loved, everthing you've been.
And everywhere you walk, yes every song you sing.
Every time you wake, it haunts you once again.
My daddy ain't comin home, no no.
Daddy ain't comin home, no no.
My daddy ain't comin home, no no.
Daddy ain't comin home, no no.
Your daddy ain't comin home.
