Daddy's Home

Rollin' with Daddy's home

Play it, play it

I know I'm not the man you thought I'd be

We started out so young, your mother and me

I know that I hurt you

I was a child trying to be a man

I walked out on my only son

I left you in your mother's hands

And now I'm standing right here

With tears, with tears streaming from my eyes

See your mother raised a fine young man

And I know I missed so much of your life

(Look at me)

Take a real good look at me

(Don't turn away)

Don't you turn away like I did, my son

I'm making no more promises

I'm trying to find the word to sing, yeah

(Daddy's home)

(Daddy's home)

Been gone too long

(Daddy's home)

Said your daddy's back home

(Daddy's home)

Said, oh,  for every birthday that I missed, my son

(Daddy's home)

Gonna make it all up to you

(Daddy's home)

Every time I made your mother cry

(Daddy's home)

She laid awake at night

Holding her bitter heart tight, oh

(Daddy's home)

Do you remember the day I walked out on you?

There was nothing I could say, nothing you could do

I missed your first words, I couldn't hear you talk

I missed your first steps, when you're tryin' to walk, baby

Now I know that you know you can take care of yourself

(Daddy's home)

(Daddy's home)

You had to run, you had to run to somebody else

(Daddy's home)

Caved in on a father, I wasn't there

But talk to me, son, tell me how you feel

(Daddy's home)

Daddy, why would you leave your only son?

I don't know

Can you give me somethin' that a young kid will know

No, no, no

To make you leave me here alone

Oh-oh, no

Now you decided to come back home

I wanna be back with you, oh, my son, my son

(Daddy's home)

And I realize

(Daddy's home)

That it's gonna take a little time

(Take all the time you want)

For you and me to give again

(Daddy's home)

I think we can do it

I think we can do it

Do you think we can do it?

I think we can do it

(If you wanna be my dad again)

Wanna be your daddy

(You got to start all over, be a friend)

Still wanna be your daddy

(If you wanna be my dad again)

Have you ever seen a grown man cry?

(We've got to start all over, break bread)

Have you ever seen a grown man cry?

If you wanna relate

(If you wanna be my dad again)

Still, I wanna be your dad again

Gon' start with this

(You got to start all over, be a friend)

Gonna start right here, right now

(If you wanna be my dad again)

My son, my only son

We need to start

(You got to start all over, be a friend)

Can you look at me?

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho

Look at me, at me

Now just look at me

Hee, look at me
