Daddy's Song

[Verse 1]

Years ago, I knew a man

He was my mother's biggest fan

We used to walk beside the sea

And he told me how life would be

When I grew up to be a man (Oh!)

[Verse 2]

And years ago, we used to play

He used to laugh when I ran away

And if I fell and hurt my knee

He would run to comfort me

And the pain would go away

[Verse 3]

Years ago, I knew a boy

He was his daddy's pride and joy, pride and joy

But when the daddy went away

It was such a rainy day

That he brought out all his toys

[Verse 4]

And how the mother did explain

Trying to take away the pain

But he just couldn't understand

That his father was not a man

And it all was just a game

[Verse 5]

The years have passed and so have I

Making it hard for me to cry

And if and when I have a son

Let it all be said and done

Let the sadness pass him by

[Outro]

My old man is a good man

He does the best that he can

My old man is a good man

He does the best that he can

Your old man's not as good as my old man

My old man's a heck of a lot better than your old man

My old man and your old man...
