My boss`ll tell you that
I`ve been to work all week on time
And I ain`t had no liquor on my breath
It ain`t no kind of secret
I`ve been known to take a drink
And it`s made me do some things that I regret.
Loretta said, ``This ain`t no kind of way
To raise a family.``
And one night she called it quits
And called a cab.
She left clothes out on the clothes line
And the dishes in the sink
So I guess she knows
That she ain`t coming back.
But, I just wanna see my kids
I just wanna hold my girls
Heaven knows I ain`t got much
An` nothin` else in this whole world
I just wanna be around enough
To know that they`ve been loved
I just wanna be the daddy
My daddy never was.

Now lately she`s been knowin`
This ol` boy she met in church
And I can`t say she`s wrong for wantin` more
I gave him the right to tell my wife
That I can`t come around
The night I knocked a hole in her front door.
And Loretta took my keys
And she made me wait outside
But she didn`t call the law
She called a cab
And as I pulled away
I saw somethin` in her eyes
So I Reckon that she knows
I ain`t so bad.
I just wanna see my kids
I just wanna hold my girls
Heaven knows I ain`t got much
An` nothin` else in this whole world
I just wanna be around enough
To know that they`ve been loved
I just wanna be the daddy
My daddy never was.
