To Daddy (Live)

[Verse 1]

Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in life

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

[Verse 2]

The only things that seemed to be important in her life

Was to make our house a home and make us happy

Momma never wanted anymore than what she had

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

[Verse 3]

He often left her all alone, she didn't mind the staying home

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers and the gifts he never gave her

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

[Verse 4]

Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted

And she didn't need those things to make her happy

She didn't even seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

[Bridge]

One morning we awoke just to find the note

That momma carefully wrote and left to daddy

And as he began to read it our ears could not believe it

The words that she had written there to daddy

[Verse 5]

She said the kids are old enough, they don't need me very much

And I've gone in search for love I need so badly

I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on

She never meant to come back home

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

[Outro]

Good-bye to daddy
