Joey

(album: Stand By Your Man - 1969)

Outside the sun is shining, it's such a pretty day
I'm waiting in the shadows watching you and Joey play
Right now I feel like dying 'cause I heard Joey say
"All the other kids I know have daddies everyday"

"Oh Daddy, please ask Mommy, could you come home to stay?
Me and Mommy need you, I love you anyway
All the other kids I know have daddies everyday"

Honey, I've been thinking, our little Joey's bright
He doesn't understand our little childish grownup fights
You're just his Sunday Daddy, could you come home to stay?
'Cause all the other kids he knows have daddies everyday

"Oh Daddy, please ask Mommy, could you come home to stay?
Me and Mommy need you, I love you anyway
All the other kids I know have daddies everyday"
