Daddy's Home

(albüm: Tougher Than Nails - 2004)

Beans are ready in the pot
Cornbread's cooking a summer hot
A trail of dust, up the drive
Mama says those words that make me come alive

She said daddy's home
In my eyes he was the greatest man I've ever know
Looking back
Makes me realize just what I had now that he's gone
What I would give, if I could hear mama say
One more time
Daddy's home

Snuck in late, scared to death
Smell of whiskey on my breath
Little sister says she's gonna tell
Then the spoke those words that I recall so well

She said daddy's home
He showed me the difference in what's right and what is wrong
Lessons learned
Still linger in my memory though the years have come and gone
What I would give if could hear mama say
One more time
Daddy's home

Sometimes I wish that he were still here with me
And though he's in better place, it's so hard to let him go

Daddy's home
In my eyes he was the greatest man I've ever known
Looking back
Makes me realize just what I had now that he's gone
What I would give if I could hear mama say
One more time
Daddy's home...
