Lyrics

Daddy

From Acts of Fear and Love2018

Written by Isaac Holman

Lyrics

Daddy

Daddy's got a new car, driving wit the roof down 20 miles an hour, going slow, rolling through the town Wasted again on these late nights strange men Sprnding like it's nothing 'cause he don't know how to make friends But he's trying so hard Ah Daddy's got a new girl, young enough to be his kid Making up for lost time, things he wishes that he died Back when he was younger, is it any wonder? Is it any wonder? There's things he wishes he did back when he was a kid Things he wishes he did back when he was a kid Things he wishes he did Ah
