I Miss My Daddy

I was five years old

Listening to the radio

I memorized every song you're saying

So the soul and Blues

It's hard to fill your shoes

And live up to your name

You was always on the road

Singing the sold out shows

Working hard to stay on top

Everybody call you JT

But to mama and me

You were just pops

I miss my daddy

I never thought you'd leave

Or the songs would never end

Wish I could turn the page

And see you back on stage

Singing cheaper to Keep up again

And just because

You wasn't always there

I want you to know

I understood

It wasn't easy for you

But I know you can

You did the best

That you could

Now I'm on my own

Trying to sing your songs

Listen to the scream of the crowd

I hope you like what you see

When you look down on me

I'm just trying to make you proud

I miss my daddy

I wish that you were here

Doing the thing that we used to do

No it just ain't the same

Can't nobody sing little bluebird

Like you

I miss my daddy (I miss my daddy)

I never thought you would leave

Or the songs would never end

I wish I could turn the page

And see you back on stage

Singing that tune I love again

I miss my daddy (I miss my daddy)

I wish that you were here doing the things

That we used to do

Cause it just ain't the same

Ain't nobody's time

Disco Lady

Like you

I miss my (my daddy)

Woah, woah

I miss you pa

I'm just trying to sing a song, just like you (I miss my daddy)

Oh, I miss my daddy, woo

I wish you were here

Oh, oh (I miss my daddy)

You can tell time wrong

But your son is holding it down

Tell the old lady that the blue is alright (I miss my daddy)

I'm crying for you both

I'm trying for you

I know you're watching

Oh, I miss my daddy

Woo

I miss my pa

I miss you dad
